Even when I'm all alone, our loves goes on and on...

Hiya all! I am doing an about face from last week and covering a beautiful, dramatic, and uplifting record. It's Artemis by Lindsey Stirling. Lindsey wears two faces during this album: The archer goddess Artemis, and a citizen dismayed with a dystopian future. The sound of the album conveys this pairing. While Lindsey's arrangements have always been excellent, Artemis indulges in a new depth of complexity, blending her violin meets EDM roots with dark, vapory sounds and tastes of a vintage, almost victorian quality. Having anchored her sound in her previous releases, Lindsey branches out and experiments with different sounds from her violin and other instruments. I especially love the pizzicato portions of the album. My favorites include the enchanting Love Goes On and On with the legendary Amy Lee, hypnotizing Underground, waltzy Masquerade, dramatic Foreverglow (featuring some lovely vocals from Lindsey herself), contemplative Sleepwalking, and tranquilly transcendent Guardian. My very favorite has to be Darkside. From the instantly striking intro, into the uneasy verse, to the rocking chorus, Darkside captures an exhilarating spiral into the shadows. It's simply electric, as is this whole album. Go give it a try, and enjoy!
