BELLA1368V Release Date: 7th April 2023 “With a voice that lands somewhere between Anohni and Beth Orton, a new-found kosmische influence permeates throughout. Take ‘Rubens’ House’, which blends Mazzy Star with the propulsive power of Neu!, while ‘Autumn’s Fiery Tongue’ is a slice of dreamy psych-folk; ‘Space and Time’ is simply achingly beautiful. This is near as dammit a masterpiece.” Shindig – 5 stars ***** “A suite of songs progressing towards a climax... Aspiring Sun is a coherent entity which should be heard as a whole.” MOJO – 4 stars **** “Her finest album yet... The gentle lushness of ‘Leaves’ is a good indication of Aspirin Sun’s mood, one where subtle, sparkling psychedelic detail dapples Tricca’s understated melodies, as she lets her songs take the time that they need to reach their conclusions: each song like a breath exhaled.” Uncut – 7/10 “Tricca’s vocals are on a Karen Dalton / Vashti Bunyan axis in a melody-driven set, texturised by ambient Americana and watercolour minimalism. The third act is the most stimulating, featuring psychedelic standout ‘Rubens’ House’, the acid-folk of ‘Through The Poet’s Eyes’ and a cosmic hymn – with superb jazz trumpet – ‘Space and Time’.” PROG
