For nearly 15 years have I believed the Hope. I have no idea what she looks like, but I’ve always been in love with her. The Warm Inventions are like 10 dudes (mostly dudes), and they provide all the musical accompaniment so Sandoval can do her thing. Pablo may be my favorite baseball player, but Hope is my favorite Sandoval.
“Blanchard” is as good as any other track. It just happens to be first. Sandoval has never been one to mess with success, so it’s actually a hard album review to write. You already know whether you’re going to like it, and you better, or I will pour maple syrup in your gas tank.
“For the Rest of Your Life” has haunting, ethereal instrumentation and sounds like it would fit right in on a Twin Peaks soundtrack. Julee Cruise wishes she were this good.
The 1980s was the decade that broke New Age, and George Winston became a household name. All that Windham Hill hoohah has inspired in some unusual places, and when you listen to “Thinking Like That,” it is hard not to hear the same musical stylings that once featured music videos of lush landscapes and rolling hills.
