Almost Lover

Almost Lover is the sonic equivalent of a watercolor painting left out in the rain. It is an exercise in restraint, where the space between the piano notes carries as much emotional weight as the lyrics themselves. Alison Sudol, performing as A Fine Frenzy, manages to capture a very specific type of grief: the mourning of a relationship that never quite reached its full potential. The production is remarkably dry and intimate, making it feel as though she is sitting in the room with you, sharing a secret she can barely bring herself to speak aloud.
