Paul Ramsay - Inlets

Review by AB4S AB4S

Inlets, the latest album from singer-songwriter Paul Ramsay, is a captivating collection of songs that showcase his talent for crafting introspective, heartfelt music. With his smooth, emotive vocals and intricate guitar work, Ramsay creates a lush soundscape that draws the listener in from the first notes of the opening track.

From the delicate, fingerpicked "Into the Blue" to the hauntingly beautiful "Settled," Inlets is a masterclass in songwriting. Ramsay's lyrics are deeply personal, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a raw honesty that is both refreshing and relatable.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The River," a haunting ballad that showcases Ramsay's ability to create a sense of atmosphere and mood with his music. The sparse instrumentation and haunting vocal harmonies make for a spine-tingling listening experience.

Notes

  • 'Inlets - Music Improvisations Rescued as Planned Compositions': a series of piano-based improvisations developed using strings and electronic textures and exploring the territory between classical and experimental music.
  • This album began as a collection of piano-based improvisations which were then developed through a series of exotic textures, including orchestral string sounds. The more unusual instrumentation includes a vacuum cleaner (bus lane in fog), a bee (bee narratives) and fireworks (sky touch blue). The twin influences of water and insects were also very important in helping shape the album.
  • Inlets was recorded during the months of August/September /November. This has led (to my mind) to the music having an autumnal 'feel', evoking aspects of English weather: a celebration of grey skies, rain, misty mornings and dark, evening journeys home (there's also some sunshine and bracing winds). It dwells on small things: small life, small moments, fleeting moods, in a collection of miniatures.
  • Inlets is something of a hybrid and seems to lie between the territories of experimental and classical music. If you like either, you may wish to give it a listen.
  • It's not ambient music but you could leave a window open when playing ;-)
