Cara Beth Satalino, (who essentially is Outer Spaces), is back with Gazing Globe, her second album. An Athens, Georgia based artist, her work is thoughtful and melodic, pitched somewhere between mid-period R.E.M. and Stevie Nicks fronted Fleetwood Mac and the record is an altogether snug, easy alternative ride.
The essence of what this is about is neatly contained in the two opening tracks I See Your Face and The Truck. If you're not convinced then that you want to stay aboard for the rest of the trip after these then you probably won't be.
Gazing Globe is not always intent on quickening the pulse although it has moments when it does. Mostly this is crafted, elegant, finely tuned stuff. Not an album to shift the world off its axis, but if we were to listen to the kind of music that the likes of Trotsky advocated all the time we'd end up with more than a few headaches. Gazing Globe is something a good doctor would prescribe for the moments that you've got one.
