Description
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 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 from Norfolk, Lucy studied Fine Art and later moved to Bristol to join the emerging ambient scene there – gradually developing her writing and finally releasing her debut Rushing EP in early 2020. Over the past year, shes dipped into a wealth of long gone celluloid as the basis for a filmic journey, a five song EP that relives formative movies in her unique take on ecclesiastical pop. This is music that takes you places, shifts focus, paints large canvases.
