Magical melancholy from the late, great Ms Starbridge

when many of us are contemplating the impact of grief, the longawaited release of Aleah Starbridge’s solo album seems almost unbearably poignant. Lovingly feels like the final piece of the musical jigsaw that began with the posthumous release of Trees Of Eternity’s sole album, , in 2017, a year after the singer’s passing. For Raivio’s own feelings on his lost love, those with a robust constitution should listen to Swallow The Sun’s truly harrowing . But it’s this bewitching showcase for a cruelly thwarted talent that arguably packs the heftiest punch.
