'A more pastoral Kate Bush' thenewgay.net
'Wow, this is a beautiful record' collected sounds
Chloë March spent three years crafting her new album 'Divining', released November 2008 on her own label Powderkeg Records - arranging, recording and producing the twelve songs with a passionate perfectionism. Inspired by water, the album is a dream-pop/folk song-cycle, interweaving shimmering beats with piano, found-sounds, gorgeous vocal harmonies, french horn, harp and marimbas - all with an intricate delicacy and profound attention to detail. The album includes sunlit reveries of moats and soft summer rain, a lament for Anne Boleyn, tales of sensuous Venice and sadistic sculptors, sea angels and dark rivers of love and loss
'Electronic dreampop with dashes of jazz and artsong. One woman band March crafts an ethereal song cycle based around water imagery, using the intricate minimalism of Steve Reich, layers of sparkling keyboards and her deep, sensual alto' thenewgay.net
'A command of the keyboard more reminiscent of Kate Bush, Tori Amos or Nina Simone.... Hear the three years of perfectionism...' Tom Robinson BBC6 Music
'It's almost a score without a film. There's a sense of place, earnest and immersive...Listening to it is interesting. There are things to discover. There are ways to become lost' self as fractal
