Liana Flores – ‘Crystalline’ (from ‘Flower of the soul’ LP)

Seductive Weekend jazz inflections, sweet sophistipop confections: ‘Flower of the soul’ is warm yet fresh, like a morning in early May. It is a box of delicacies sprinkled with dew; the sound of a Tirzah Garwood print reflected in a moonlit waterway as a Lesley Duncan album whispers in the mist. It’s the sound of sipping espresso in the Cafe Bleu, of sifting memory and landing on bluebells in the castle woods. Echoes of previous lives dust our shoulders. A pocketful of pebbles. The sun squinting through the leaves. Adrift downstream on a daydream.
