Description:

Chantal Akuda, a singer-songwriter with a voice full of warmth and tenderness that removes mental barbs, reissued a hidden masterpiece from 2008. This reissue of "Polar Life," the second masterpiece album from 2008 by her former solo project "Sleeping Dog," is the second album by this Dutch artist living in Belgium. Adam Bryanbaum-Wiltsie, another Brussels-based artist, who is also active in Stars Of The Lid / AWinged Victory For The Sullen, was fully involved in the sound production after the first album (later Sleeping Dog became a duo with him). The warm and simple melodies are accompanied by Chantal Akuda's irreplaceable voice on piano and acoustic guitar, and Adam Wiltsey brings a warm and simple melody. The ambient folk sound, with string arrangements by Adam Wiltsie and delicate ambient and electronic arrangements, has not aged a bit, even more than 10 years after its release. Chantal Akuda's songs, sung quietly and gently like a lullaby to a child, have been buried for many years like a hidden treasure, but now is the time for them to reach as many people as possible.This is a great album for lovers of slowcore, folktronica, and bedroom pop. jacket).
