Sarah Fimm could have gone on making the spacey, soothing trip-hop of her first three albums and her tiny but devoted fanbase probably wouldn't have cared - she was pretty damn good at it, after all. But in a period of about nine months, she made two brilliant choices: releasing a free EP that both reached new fans and hinted at a new direction, and completely ditching trip-hop for the new-age/folk/pop hybrid on Red Yellow Sun. While different, Red Yellow Sun sees Fimm exhibit the same strengths as before: the low-key instrumentation complements her voice perfectly, the songwriting never feels tired, and her amazing, soothing voice never falters. The only obvious flaw is a section in "Crumbs and Broken Shells" where guest Peter Murphy's operatic warble sounds grating against Fimm's smooth, controlled vocals. Ending with an awesome climax and one of the year's best closers, Red Yellow Sun is yet another excellent album that (if number of ratings are any indication) will hopefully get the recognition this woman's been deserving for awhile.

Reminded me in a strange way of Loreena McKennitt meets Sinead O'Connor meets Peter Gabriel.. very interesting listen. It just requires you to listen closely to get the full effect.
