Ex Reverie - The Door Into Summer [CD]

When teenage imaginings transcend childhood's end and lodge with concrete ferocity within the sound world of adult reality, one can find a unique realm wherein dulcimers and Glam Rock guitar frenzies manifest with uniform importance. The trick is knowing not to discern a difference. Gillian Chadwick understands this more than most Visconti acolytes. Her employment of the fantastic within Ex Reverie's epic confines heralds a return to a reality deeper than most modern Folksinger neo-realists can manage to muster. In a post '70s realm the struggle is to circumnavigate irony without succumbing to blandness or facile dictations of woe. Ex Reverie's the Door Into Summer maps that route with crystalline authority. Some additional points to mention include is Gillian Chadwick is half of Woodwose and a member of Golden Ball.
