Cat Power is an obvious reference point for the melancholy ballads of this side project from vancouver’s acidfolkrock outfit Black Mountain — Amber Webber’s vocals are occasionally indistinguishable from Chan Marshall’s. Joshua Wells provides sparse instrumental accompaniment (fans of Songs:Ohia’s Ghost Tropic take note!), usually some form of keyboards and/or guitars. Webber is no mere imitator tho, with a curious signature “flutter” in her voice reminiscent of (tho less quirky than) Scout Niblet or even (& still less quirky than) Joanna Newsom. Tracks 1 & 2 really present the formula best. And it all is a bit formulaic: choose from among the other tracks based on your tempo and instrumental preferences (organ, tracks 4, 6 & 9; piano, tracks 5, 7 & 8). Track 3 is atypically bright and bouncy (with thin drums and tambourine), and track 10 brings in a full backup band, with the drum kit thumping out a nice C&W waltz time and thus making it the most “traditional” track here. Tho if you have the time and it’s a dark night in your single-candle-lit room, go for Track 7: it’s clearly this recording’s emotional centerpiece.
