Lydia Ainsworth (2015)
Toronto, ON
Lydia Ainsworth's stately, intricate compositions make the sparsest of instrumentation—sampled strings, layered vocal harmonies and ‘80s-inspired electronic beats—sound like an orchestra of angels. Her vision is cinematic and absorbing, taking listeners deep into a private world at the knife-edge of terror and beauty where everything is simultaneously familiar and alien.
