Song(s) of the Day # 4,126 Hectorine

 

'Is love an illusion?' Your guess is as good as mine pal. Hectorine certainly has her doubts and makes them clear on latest LP Arrow Of Love. According to her Spotify bio Sarah Gagnon the woman behind the Hectorine thing summons up the spirit of the ancient Sumerian warrior goddess Inana as her muse for this one.

I'm not sure where to go with that one really. Frankly it sounds rather far fetched to my mind. But the album has a splendid glacial tread that's really rather endearing and splendid. I sat yesterday in an Arhuis hotel room and allowed the record to cast its spell. .It surely did.

And the spell thickens as the record spins. There's an answer song to Cohen's Hallelujah which stopped me in my tracks frankly. The record is frequently stunning. Make of it what you will but you may find it as endearing as I did yesterday afternoon. The whole thing has a lustrous quality
