Helen Money & Will Thomas have boldly strayed off the beaten path with their latest collaborative effort, Trace.
Sporting a translucent yellow vinyl that screams indie exclusive, this album is as vibrant and enigmatic as the colour of its physical form.
But does the music live up to the eye-catching packaging? From the first screeching notes of the opening track, listeners are transported to a world of experimental sounds and unexpected twists.
Helen Money's cello skills shine through, providing a haunting yet powerful backdrop for Will Thomas's ethereal vocals.
The duo effortlessly weave between genres, blending elements of post-rock, ambient, and even a touch of folk.
Tracks like "Lost in the Noise" showcase the duo's ability to craft intricate sonic landscapes that tug at the heartstrings, while "Fading Memory" offers a glimpse into the darker, more introspective side of their collaboration.
The instrumental interludes throughout the album provide a welcome respite from the intensity of the vocal-driven tracks, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere.
In a world saturated with cookie-cutter pop tunes, Trace is a breath of fresh air – a bold statement from two artists unafraid to push the boundaries of traditional music.
So grab a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let Helen Money & Will Thomas take you on a journey through their kaleidoscopic sonic world.
You won't regret it.
