Rocking Horse

Kelli Ali

A stark departure into acoustic chamber folk. Breathy, fragile vocals float over Max Richter's minimalist arrangements of woodwinds and strings.

November 25, 2008 · One Little Indian

A fragile, woodland-inspired stillness that feels both ancient and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Listening For
The fragile, high-register vocal on 'Dancing Bears' that feels like it might break under its own weight.
The way the woodwinds and strings swell with a quiet, pastoral ache during 'September Sky'.
The haunting, repetitive piano motif on 'The Kiss' that mimics a slow-motion carousel.
