Blood-Red Spark

Calle Falksten This just screamed out buy me,buy me after the first couple of plays. A wonderful discovery. The most apt way to describe Chloe Marchs music would be a female C Duncan perhaps but there s much more going on here. The way Chloe plays with atmosphere in her music also reminds me of David Sylvian. Favorite track: Blood-Red Spark.

about

In her fourth album, Blood-Red Spark, March continues her exploration of a rich musical seam in which songwriterly storytelling and imagistic soundscape meet. Beautiful ambient/electro-pop soundworlds of warm spaciousness and radiant sensuality are underpinned by a compelling pulse - a vital heartbeat of an album of emotional concealments and revealments, truth and trickery, loss, longing and desire.

March leads the listener through an immersive multi-layered world of melodic twists and unexpected harmonic shifts with the confident songcraft of a composer happily at home with her own distinctive musicality, occasionally reminiscent of Goldfrapp, C Duncan, The Cocteau Twins or David Sylvian, using her voice as intimate centre point and textural instrument. The single ‘Let It All In’ is at the heart of this intimacy, distilling the emotional magnetism that March brings to all her work into an intense shot of magic and liquid melancholy. Blood-Red Spark is further evidence of an artist gathering her musical forces and transforming them into shimmering gold.

Hidden Shoal and Powderkeg Records

'Stunning rarefied synth compositions with layers of her remarkable voice... A beautiful sound, somewhere between The Blue Nile and David Sylvian' the underground of happiness

'Neo classical torch toned wooziness... ghost lit tenderness... amid the glow of noir... We are much minded of an unusually vulnerable Jane Weaver sweetly shimmering in the grooves' The Sunday Experience

'March makes music beyond genres. The music is versatile and poignant...Her productions mix beautifully pop music and electronica as well as classical music. That's unusual and enriched, and that is why her productions are so appreciated at my show the Nightfly aka Natsvaermeren' Danish DJ Katrine Ring DR/P2

'Soulful dreamscapes a go-go... March knows her way around a beautiful melody and perfectly placed dynamics... The best music often falls between the gaps of definition, not in one box or another but proudly sitting in the borders, Chloe’s music does that and it’s all the better for not being easily pigeonholed.' Fresh On The Net
