Review Summary: A garden made from mere flower seeds- an album worth anybody's time.
Undeniably, Diary Of Dolls & Death is one of the best I have heard. For an artist making music with solely an i-pad, and with no studio nor expensive tools to aid production, this album is shockingly well put together. The album conveys stories and emotions that are rarely brought to light or spoken about. Feelings, thoughts and experiences that most would shy away from, unwilling to face due to their difficult nature- but this album takes them head on, shining a much-needed light on things such as unhealthy/difficult relationships, mental struggles and regrets.
Personally, I enjoy listening to ''Derealization'' most of all. Whilst each song has its own unique charm, this one truly resonates me. This focuses on derealization, as the name suggests- how it feels to experience detachment from yourself and everything around you. In the musical world, this isn't often focused on- let alone in such an effective way as Bambi paints it. The faint and somewhat eerie tone to this song only adds to how derealization really feels to experience. On the other hand, the song ''Til Death Do Us Part'' has another place in my heart. Yet again, Bambi uses her music to tell a story of something most wouldn't dare to near with their music or words- the feeling of walking into a relationship you didn't know was unhealthy, but slowly realizing that you're trapped, trapped in something that will eventually kill you. The denial of it and the conflicting emotions are all shown in this song, and this song will resonate differently with different people based on their experiences.
Overall, I heavily recommend this album. Bambi's music is wonderful and the talent they have is stunning- even with limited equipment for music production, they still manage to create masterpieces in their own right.
