专辑简介

Former lead singer of Rainer Maria, Caithlin de Marrais’ tapped the Poison Tree‘s Steve Salett and Josh Kaufman for co-production of her new project Red Coats. On her solo debut, Caithlin distinguishing characteristic isn’t that she was the frontwoman for emo vets Rainer Maria, but that she was the bassist. These are slight, spacious tracks, and the chattering drum loops and weightless strings could just wander away without the muted low-end muscle, like electrons lacking a nucleus. This isn’t the most effective way to write songs, but sounds that’d be crushed in a busier mix — a crawl of brittle guitar on “Birds,” a shivering synth on “City Girl,” de Marrais’ shyly pretty voice — are given a chance to gleam, as they cluster shyly around her more forceful, composed bass lines.
