Azeda Booth: In Flesh Tones (Absolutely Kosher)

Azeda Booth: In Flesh Tones (Absolutely Kosher) - In Flesh Tones is the debut release from Calgary-based sextet Azeda Booth.  In the vein of Boards of Canada, Sigur Ros and Múm, they craft beautifully watercolored sonic landscapes with hues of ambient pop.  Live percussion, electronics, synths, reverbed guitar and effects reflect the soft pastoral textures while the weightless, high-pitched voice of Jordon Hossack adds a bit of human soul to the tapestry.  Recommended.
