Tara Vanflower: This Womb Like Liquid Honey
Label:  Projekt Records
Year:   1999
Why not a children's album? Current 93 have been making them for quite
sometime, so it's only natural that another revered artist from the gothic
music milieu creates another sickly sweet pop concoction for any age. Tara
Vanflower is the main voice behind the acclaimed Lycia, and this is her
first solo album. It's strangely uplifting too, which seems to be a natural
progression from the direction Lycia albums have been taking. At times it
recalls the postmodern folk of Current 93, Rose McDowell, and even moments
of the circus-like atmosphere of Legendary Pink Dots and the Virgin Prunes.
Lush instrumentation, ever-present echo, moments of spoken word,
hypnotically charged loops, and high notes buffered by thudding bass create
the background for songs involving images of Grimm's fairy tales,
anamorphic animal attributes, Christianity, and claustrophobia. The
progression becomes more hallucinatory as the album carries on, culminating
in the disturbing sounds of a music box and the distant sound of Tara's
voice reciting a poem, lost in a haze of childhood's memory. A haunting
first solo effort.
Standouts: Little Bleu Cherry Girl, Elephant
