Polly Pen - Bed And Sofa

Review by Julia von Staden

Polly Pen's album Bed and Sofa is a stunning collection of songs that showcases her impressive musical talents. The album is a tribute to the 1926 Soviet silent film of the same name, and it is clear that Pen has put a great deal of thought and care into crafting each track to perfectly capture the mood and atmosphere of the film.

From the opening track "On the Street" to the hauntingly beautiful "Dreams," Pen's compositions are rich, complex, and full of emotion. Her lyrics are poetic and evocative, painting vivid pictures that transport the listener to the world of the film.

The arrangements on Bed and Sofa are equally impressive, with Pen's piano providing a solid foundation for the lush strings and haunting woodwinds that fill out the sound. Each instrument is used to great effect, adding depth and texture to the already richly layered compositions.

Summary by Julia von Staden

Bed and Sofa is a truly exceptional album that showcases Polly Pen's remarkable talents as a songwriter and composer. Whether you are a fan of the film or simply appreciate beautiful, thought-provoking music, this album is not to be missed.
