Delicate Noise returns with their second CD - Filmezza - an honest, optimistic and weighted electronica record. The album unfolds like the telling of a dream - warm and sentimental songs wash in and out with lullaby-like melodies, augmented with disembodied voices of children playing. "Butterfly Envy" acknowledges a Boards of Canada influence with a haunting and emotional sound evoking an image of old home movies. "Round Lake Beach" continues the theme while adding a feeling of dusk and darkness falling.
A slow motion wave of disorientation populates "We Like Mercury" - the sound of crickets interrupted with pregnant pauses add to the subtle unhinging sensation. Periods of longing and reflection shimmer over the title track looking for a sense of forgiveness. Delicate Noise eloquently phrases personal, thought-provoking, emotional questions with a satisfying richness. And Steven Seibold (Hate Dept.) mixes these songs with kid gloves on, always allowing the delicate and childlike to come through unclouded. Emotive and beautiful, Filmezza provides a soundtrack befitting an old photo of a loved one or a cherished memory with a warmth and satisfaction returning the ears to a sense of wonder.
"Atmospheric stuff put together with a lot of care" - Future Music
"It's a quite easy and enjoyable listen" - Side-Line
"The music displays a constant eeriness, but that disposition is rarely foreboding, instead evoking an introspective anticipation of something wonderful about to be revealed." - Sonic Curiosity
"Diversion mutters and sighs with a monologue of carefully wrought rumination, while diverting attention from itself with its atmospheric electronics and off-kilter beats..." - Igloo Magazine
