Search - Robin Guthrie :: Emeralds

2011 album by guitarist/songwriter, producer and sound architect Robin Guthrie. Another uncompromising step along the path that is his vision, enveloping the listener with the aesthetic enchantment which has become his trademark. From the opening notes of 'Digging for Gold' to the last echoes of 'The Little Light Fades', Emeralds takes US on a voyage which moves our emotions, stimulates our senses and leaves US feeling that the world must be a better place seen through the eyes of Robin Guthrie. The album provokes a whole range of emotions from joy to melancholy and back again, never once failing to arouse the imagination of those who become captured by it. With the joyously uplifting 'Wishing' and the evocatively haunting melody of 'Torch' Guthrie quietly coaxes beauty out of layers of echoes and seemingly invites the listener inside the music to become an integral part of the whole creation.
