Ora Cogan - The Quarry

Review by Jose de Cura

Ora Cogan's latest album, The Quarry, is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that showcases her unique blend of folk, rock, and experimental music. The album takes listeners on a journey through Cogan's introspective and emotional landscape, with each track offering a window into her psyche.

The opening track, "Crickets," sets the tone for the album with its dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes and Cogan's delicate vocals. From there, the album takes on a more experimental edge, with tracks like "Bells in the Ruins" and "Sea People" incorporating elements of psychedelia, shoegaze, and even industrial music.

Despite the often dark and introspective subject matter of the songs, there is a sense of hope and redemption that runs throughout the album. This is perhaps best exemplified in the album's closing track, "Light of the Day," which features Cogan's soaring vocals and a sense of joy and optimism that leaves the listener feeling uplifted and inspired.

Summary by Jose de Cura

The Quarry is an impressive and deeply moving album that showcases Ora Cogan's immense talent as a songwriter and musician. Whether you're a fan of folk, rock, or experimental music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
