On her fourth solo release, All Those Racing Horses, Tamara Williamson
continues her unique brand of looping, stereoscopic wizardry. Trumpet, cello,
violin and mouth organ are woven together with ambient samples such as a
surprisingly musical modem, making a listen on headphones (be it ever so cliché to
advise somebody to do so) an almost spiritual experience. Those the tracks on the
album reveal a palpable pop-sensibility, the chord progressions never quite go
where one might expect.
"At moments, rays of sunlight shine through her evocative, shimmering
textures; elsewhere, the ghostl, overdubbed chords, swerving guitars and
propulsive rhythms remind us we’re nowhere near Kansas anymore."
