Earlier this summer we saw the thought-provoking, momentary stillness in time chamomile, by Cynthia Bernard (aka marine eyes.) Each passage is soaked in true feelings that chooses warmth to fill up our own negative space.
Soaked in true feelings
When the world is burning it can be difficult to find yourself, however, through struggle and turmoil comes great art. This is not to assume every artist takes in their surroundings or global action into the equation—but perhaps by creating their own worlds allows others to follow into temporary escapism and solace within.
Earlier this summer we saw the thought-provoking, momentary stillness in time chamomile, by Cynthia Bernard (aka marine eyes.) Each passage is soaked in true feelings that chooses warmth to fill up our own negative space. There is an elegance in how effortlessly these tracks find emotive points connecting throughout. To describe the overall sound in perhaps two words, I would first say BIG for the expansive reverb that swirls marine eyes’ vocals around ethereal landscapes the size of an ever growing universe—the details are delicate yet infinitive. Secondly, I would say ABSORBING. Perhaps this is just finding me at a time where I needed it without knowing. There is a caring notion that chamomile holds your hand whilst allowing you to look around, gently guiding you.
Take a moment today, now if you can, to listen to this in full. Wherever you are, and whatever your situation, marine eyes manages to conjure up belief that everything will eventually be okay.
Cynthia Bernard was recently involved with Healing Together: A Compilation For Mental Health Recovery, also available via Past Inside the Present. This compilation is currently set to ‘Name Your Price,’ and is a wonderful release we previously reviewed.
