Sideration

Description

Sidération: the fatal action of the stars, a psychic upheaval that creates a state of emotional stupor. Ten years after "Sex In Dallas," her Berlin-based group with instant success and disintegration, five years after "Event Horizon," her highly acclaimed first solo album, Mohini Geisweiller, a rare artist, delivers with "Sideration" a record of wavering in which float summer echoes, cities merging into the night, and erased existences. In this album as fragile as it is cutting, Mohini Geisweiller manages with each track to capture a subtle emotion in its raw form, an "elementary expression," for one who rejects artifice and seeks the simplicity of purity in her instrumentals as well as in her songs sung in English and French. Through her music with a twilight beauty, a dull tension that slowly consumes, a "slow burn" of destruction in slow motion, Mohini thus develops hypnotic compositions of smoldering fires, whose strength asserts itself through the progression of a spectral presence.
