Toronto’s very own Reflectiostack offer up gigantic sweeping song structures lamented with a deep bass sound, accented with haunting vocals, dressed up with the violin.   Kristy Andrews vocals are like spring fresh ivy scaling the massive wall of sound this crew are able to orchestrate.  Fiona Stewart’s violin work is invigorating, capturing a non-verbal duet with Kristy on Track 2’s “8 Months”.  Track 1’s “Golden” harnesses a spiritual worldly feel.  Scott Maynard also contributes his skills to this unique sound with his bass and piano work.  Jason Clarke appears on the album with his double bass and Donald Murray adds his trumpet work on track 4’s “San Diego Serenade” which is by far the brightest bulb on the album.  This track is an explosion of pleasantries.  Track 5 “Magic Mountain” is lyrically wonderful and full of sound with Fiona’s violin and drum machine tracks.  “Comfortable State of Perfection” which appears as the sixth song is a close second to “San Diego Serenade” in its over all dynamics.  Over all I was quite impressed by the Reflectiostack and their conjured up imagery of sound that they churn out like soft butter.  Although not every song is a gem, which in itself would be amazing there are plenty of audio adventures to be had on this albums. I recommend sitting back with the album on repeat with a fine scotch in one hand and a cigarette in the other clear your mind and soak it up.
