Kim Delacy’s Crescendos & Cadences
Portland /// Cecil Brown
Kim DeLacy - Crescendos & Cadences
Imagine you found some dusty and forgotten records in an attic. Then took them home and found out they were soulful folk contemplations. Taking a chance on an obscure little known record and finding a gem. A gem that somehow affected your perspective of the world. That is Cresendos & Cadences. Kim DeLacy’s songs are your songs sung through a tough and gentle woman. Her voice is an instrument sewn into the songs in way that seems as if it’s the music singing and not Ms. DeLacy, evident from the first song Aching Bones.
Kim’s confident enough to bring in synth sounds as in the beginning of Twenty on Two or Iron Fists. Done only sporadically she stays with in the folk boundaries of acoustic stylings. Her seventeen minute Endless Dreams, meanders between studio songs background conversation and live songs with Meg Baier recorded secretly at Olde Sedona.
Crescendos & Cadences is a full spectrum of DeLacy’s work. Playful to silly to sad. She covers many emotions and revelations giving you enough to ponder after your done listening.
