Ancient Heart

The songs rely on sparse instrumentation to give space to poetic, enigmatic lyrics. Rather than using the heavy synthesizers popular in the late eighties, the record adopts a folk-pop sensibility that focuses on the vocal delivery.

Even at nineteen, the artist displayed a maturity that anchors the entire project. The simplicity of the arrangements allows the performance to carry the weight of each song, resulting in a direct and soulful listening experience.
