Our Take

Ah, Mishaped Pearls. The band whose music is like a delightful, whimsical journey through a mystical forest. Shivelight, their latest album, is a captivating blend of folk, pop, and a touch of indie rock that transports you to a magical realm where fairies dance and unicorns prance.

The album opens with the enchanting track "Moonlit Maid," a hauntingly beautiful ode to the moon that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Lead singer Genevieve Dawson's ethereal vocals float over intricate instrumentals, creating a dreamy soundscape that lulls you into a state of bliss.

Tracks like "Whispering Winds" and "Golden Hammock" showcase the band's impeccable musicianship, with lush orchestrations and intricate harmonies that weave together like a finely crafted tapestry. Each song is a work of art in its own right, painting vivid images of nature and magic with every note.

But it's not all whimsy and fairy tales on Shivelight. Mishaped Pearls tackle deeper themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a poignancy and sincerity that is truly moving. The raw emotion in Dawson's voice is palpable, drawing you in and making you feel every word she sings.

In conclusion, Shivelight is a magical, enchanting masterpiece that solidifies Mishaped Pearls as one of the most talented and innovative bands in the folk scene today. So sit back, close your eyes, and let the music of Mishaped Pearls transport you to a world of wonder and mystery. Cheers to that, old chaps!
