Feb 13, 2017As well as command of the overall mood, Lipstate always demonstrates a steely command of her influences. But these mini homages don't swamp her sound--quite the reverse.
-
Feb 9, 2017With her eighth proper solo album as Noveller, Lipstate continues to push her otherworldly sound in fascinating new directions.

Feb 8, 2017“Rituals” is Lipstate’s tribute to Steve Reich’s Music For 18 Musicians, its arpeggiating guitar lines intertwining hypnotically, while the opening “Deep Shelter” takes a different approach, its lowing drones sliding over each other in Terry Riley-esque manner, seeking rhythmic pulses behind sheets of high, keening tones.
-
UncutFeb 3, 2017Lovely for a few songs, the narcoleptic, yet semi-cinematic visions risk homogeneity by the album's end. [Mar 2017, p.35]

MojoFeb 3, 2017A music from within. [Mar 2017, p.93]
