What started as a friendship nearly 20 years ago in Birmingham, AL, has bloomed into an intriguing musical collaboration between Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, Art in Manila) and Scalpelist, aka Cedric LeMoyne (Remy Zero), otherwise known as O+S. Now transplanted Fink parlayed her art residency at Omaha's esteemed Bemis Center of Contemporary Arts to what is now a dynamic union complete with a debut album. Originating from Fink's sound-collection excursions ranging from Alabama to Haiti, LeMoyne helped mold captured moments of time into seamlessly crafted pop songs. Their self-titled melodious reverie thrusts forward with a constant thump of drum loops, shifting from acoustic guitar and angelic coos to plodding piano, tinkling bells and a melange of unidentifiable voices. Fink's celestial vocals float along like a cloud, ever so gently peeking in and out on cue. Drawing inspiration from David Lynch and old 4AD records, the beautifully haunting collection is a symmetrical balance of light and dark, a jagged collage of sound stitched together and aided by producer Michael Patterson.
