As Lady Lazarus, California dreamer Melissa Ann Sweat crafts intimate miniatures, mostly for solo voice and electric piano, and then slowly drowns them in oceans of reverb. As short patterns of chords or intervals revolve hypnotically, overlapping layers of echo and decay well up around them until only the tips of the keyed notes glint out. The music lands somewhere between Grouper and Erik Satie, though Sweat's singing has a decidedly folksy cast. This balance of cool circumspection and human warmth is just one of the deep contrasts churning her music's simple surface. It's impossible to decide whether the music is constantly changing or totally still, a strangely placid kind of tension that never fails to draw me in.
