Lost In Light: Vinyl LP
For a singer songwriter, the benefit of starting from a point of quiet is the room it allows for manoeuvre afterwards. Such is the case with the subtly cinematic second album from Sandra Sumie Nagano, âLost In Lightâ, through Bella Union.
On 2013âs eponymous debut, Sumie tapped into the mid-point between Scandinavian and Japanese folk music to deliver an album of blissful restraint, its quietude shaped by a combination of parenthood and natural inclination.
The follow-up is an album of stealthy dynamism, drama and mystery, its impact made all the greater because it skirts obvious routes to dance just out of handâs reach, always seeming to be on the verge of departure.
Those who helped Sumie climb that poised peak included producer Filip Leyman, in whose Gothenburg studio the album was recorded. Fellow contributors numbered Karl Vento and Albert af Ekenstam on electric guitars, Emma StrÄÄt and Kajsa Persson on strings and Max Lindahl on trumpet.
Sumie has also surfaced on othersâ work. She sings on âCover Heartsâ, a track from sometime soundtrack composer David Wenngrenâs Library Tapes project and on Gothenburg electro-collective Tegamiâs pulsing âScreen Dreamâ. Meanwhile, back at base camp, âLost In Lightâ is a screen-style dream of an album itself: immersive while it lasts, haunting after it flickers out of view.
