Lucy Gooch - Rain's Break EP

Released25th June 2021.

Perfect existential listening The Guardian

Lucy Goochs music is a beautiful ethereal fog; like hearing a subliminal echo of
Kate Bush on a fading tape loop, masked by an internal wall of sound that
vibrates with the hum of everyday life. The Rains Break EP is her first release
for Fire, following the much-touted Rushing EP.

Inspired by the early technicolour films of Powell and Pressburger, Lucy uses
synthesisers and vocal layering to concentrate elements of each films score
and narrative into songs which move through different moods of yearning and
renewal.

So, it is amidst 1940s austerity that these films were an escape, an over-rich
backdrop of possibilities. A snatched piece of dialogue, the films score, the
crackle of uncertainty all succumbs to the layered ambience of Lucys music as
she traces moods of yearning and renewal on Rains Break EP.
