Strange and Beautiful

Aqualung

Lush piano-led melancholia and fragile falsetto. A cinematic collection of slow-burn indie pop that feels like a long, misty exhale on a cold night.

March 22, 2005 · Red Ink

A gentle, pervasive sadness that finds comfort in its own beautifully crafted textures.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, spell-binding repetition of the title track's chorus where the vocals float like a ghost.
The way the arrangement swells with strings on 'You Turn Me Round' to mimic the feeling of surfacing for air.
The stark, vulnerable piano opening of 'Another Little Hole' that slowly accumulates layers of weary percussion.
