"First off, I should probably mention that this CD contains what might one day be two separate LPs. But if you have even a scintilla of info about the state of record pressing these days, you'll also know that all our best laid plans could go sideways. Fast. Still, this is a damn nice way to hear all this music without a lot of the endless huffing and puffing required by the flipping of individual LPs. Which means, for now you can just let the sweet swelter of
Soft Focus
wash over you like a warm, mid-summer wave on a tropical island. And if you want to have a cocktail while listening, go right ahead. This is
Wednesday
's fourth solo release, following two CDRs on Mystra and a cassette on Microdose. But she has a long recording history with the
Pigeons
and a few other combos. And it's her fifth appearance on an FTR release, following
Viewer
's
New Salem
MC (2017), both
Weeping Bong Band
LPs (FTR 313LP, 2018 and FTR 448LP, 2019), and a pair of LPs in duo with
Willie Lane
(FTR 530LP, 2020). We have some other pots boiling for her as well, but for now, here's
Soft Focus
. This project was begun last spring, deep in the Plague Era, when it was hoped things might be turning better. It is all solo work, apart from a little harp by
PG Six
on one track, and Wednesday displays her talents on woodwinds, guitar, keyboards, and vocals. The mood is abstract and wistful, bright at some moments and shrouded at others. Wednesday describes the sound as 'ambient,' but there's more to than that term often infers. The pieces are closer to the abstractions
Eno
explored on
Another Green World
(1975) and
Before and After Science
(1977) than to
Music for Airports
(1979) or
Discreet Music
(1975). There's a lovely pop sensibility hiding in them hills. And now it's available for you to hear on full repeat. You must have done something right!" --
