Down Colorful Hill by Red House Painters

Down Colorful Hill is Red House Painters debut album. It was released back in 1992, but first now, fifteen years later, did the music reach me. And I like what I hear.

The music is relaxing. I play it over and over again. It's the arrangements, the compositions, the simple yet distinctive sound. Pictures in black and white appear in my mind, unfocused, vague, not sure what the "photographer" had in mind.

It's always difficult to label music but I would say something with a touch of Air, Björk, and maybe some bits of Khoma in it.
