New Metoronori: Veil

It’s about being surprised in the best ways possible. This, Metoronori’s third album, finds her continuing to occupy her own little, strange corner of the online music world. She creates fragile little sonic worlds…whirring synths, the occasional glance of something a bit shinier, a very annoying timer sound on “III”…that could seemingly collapse from a gust of wind (it is a weird bit of timing that outside my apartment is a lot of wind, and that it all overpowers the tunes on Veil). The sonic compositions themselves are fantastic…especially the deep-space gurgles and lonely piano that appear on the song that translates to “Taking Care Of A Plant,” turning the everyday into the trippy…yet it is when she introduces her voice into the songs that Metoronori’s work truly takes off. She rarely sings, rather outright speaking, often in a way that makes her seem like she’s ducking away from attention. She knows how to work her style excellently. Get it here, or listen below.
