And I swim these streams alone
But I'm sinking like a stone
And my belly's full of lead
The butterflies have fallen dead.
We've had Burlington, Vermont's talented young lady Erin Cavellier on these pages a couple of times before, mostly covering the magic she has produced under her primary recording moniker
Lady Lioness. However, last fall, Cavellier started publishing songs as
Confetti Dreams (Lady Lioness is still alive and well), and though her work on
The Glimmer and the Gleam, for instance, is without doubt galaxies away from, say,
this, the name change does make sense, as the beautiful little gems on Confetti Dreams' debut EP
Cellophane Sea - and the one below in particular - considerably exceed her former work in terms of fragility and sparse instrumentation. Which means, in essence, that even less is there to distract the listener from Cavellier's wonderfully ethereal voice - making these songs a purely spellbinding experience.
