Me and Armini ReviewBorn to an Italian father and Icelandic mother, Emiliana made a few albums when she was young that only saw release in Iceland, but with her widely released "Love In The Time Of Science" she gained a wider audience in Europe.
She worked closely with multi-instrumentalist Dan Carey on "Fisherman's Woman" and on that album and this new one you can notice how well suited they are together, comfortable to explore any avenues that they encounter, and make something worthwhile out of it.
Turns in co-writing Kylie Minogue single "Slow", and lending her vocals to the spectral Gollum's Song over the credits to "The Lord of the Rings", are other notable, and slightly surprising, facts about her.
Her seventh album sees her embracing a quietly startling range of mainly acoustic moods: from exuberant, rackety rock and roll through reflectively picked ballads to the stalkerish reggae bounce of the title track.
The simple, stripped down instrumentation - often little more than Emiliana's crystalline voice, a guitar and understated keyboards - seem perhaps a little too languid and sparse, even a little samey. But an extended stay reveals sharp jolts of beauty, delicate little flourishes and unexpected oddities hidden in the apparently simple song structures.
There's a murky undertone to a lot of the tracks on this album, from stalker-ish lyrics ("Me And Armini"), to cynical and sardonic perspectives ("Ha Ha", "Heard It All Before"), to menacingly sexy ("Gun"), modern day narratives that reflect the darkness of obsession, lust and heartbreak.
But then there is "Big Jumps" and "Jungle Drum", both emanate an exuberant skewed positivity, and a few others in the reflective, laid back, optimistic style she is so good at, which dispels some of the gloom.
All in all, "Me And Armini is a less introspective affair, showcasing excellent folk styled poppy numbers, with dark and delicate tension.
Love in the Time of Science
Fisherman's WomanMe and Armini OverviewFollowing on from her critically acclaimed sets 'Love In The Time Of Science' and her first for Rough Trade 'Fisherman's Woman', the forthcoming 'Me And Armini' sees her working once again with her long time producer/collaborator Dan Carey resulting in what we feel is destined to be one of the albums of 2008. 'Me And Armini' is a hugely ambitious and aspirational pop record with Emiliana's soaring voice centre stage, bolstered by a rich gamut of musical styles. From the summery skank of the title track to the surging, breathless, first single 'Jungle Drum' and yearning, spine-tingling 'Big Jumps' and much more in between 'Me And Armini' is a truly fantastic album.
