On her fourth solo release, All Those Racing Horses, Tamara Williamson continues her unique brand of looping, stereoscopic wizardry. Trumpet, cello, violin and mouth organ are woven together with ambient samples such as a surprisingly musical modem, making a listen on headphones (be it ever so cliché to advise somebody to do so) an almost spiritual experience. Though the tracks on the album reveal a palpable pop-sensibility, the chord progressions never quite go where one might expect.

Genre: Alternative-Pop, Singer/Songwriter

“At moments, rays of sunlight shine through her evocative, shimmering textures; elsewhere, the ghostly, overdubbed chords, swerving guitars and propulsive rhythms remind us we’re nowhere near Kansas anymore.” – Eye Weekly
