"Cloaked"
Rumbles and reverberations
Mercury at its station
angels sing in salutation
distant faces recollected
forgotten hillside homes reflected
re-instate an earthly body
take a bet on this creation
lessons learned are now forgotten
wear this heavy cloak on offer
sound and memory, children laughing....
- Karen Zanes
This album is dedicated to the late, great UK music writer, Mark Barton (The Sunday Experience), a champion of the international underground music community. marklosingtoday.wordpress.com
From African Paper (German cultural magazine):
"...On “Cloaked”, which follows on from the albums “Of Lovers and Tribes” and “In the Court of Wands” (both Reverb Worship), the New England based musician and singer combines the fragile charm of American folk music with shoegazer-like dream pop and more than a dash of American suburban flair that haunts abandoned amusement parks in its undead variant."
From Record Crates United:
"...Meanwhile, on songs like “Psycho Show,” Zanes displays the strength of her dream pop skills. She takes pulsating electro beats and strangely catchy hooks, and combines them with her delicate folk instrumentation and ghostly astral effects to create a truly memorable and addictive sonic gem. A fine example of this is the hypnotic “On My Walk.” With looping atmospheric electric guitars layered underneath a drum machine and subdued vocals, Zanes practically merges into MV & EE territory here."
