Kelly Bayfield: Wave Machine. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Music is the Wave Machine to which our minds respond in peaks and troughs.

Our hearts may melt at the spoken gesture of a Shakespearean Sonnett, our eyes may mist at the sight of a Constable’s Haywain or grow inclined to embrace a surreal portion of Dali’s expression, we can even wax lyrical ourselves when describing a momentous piece of architecture to a person who cannot see, but music, the sound and emotion that accompanies a human voice as it seeks to address the joy, the love, the fear, the hatred and damage, of the grief caused by existing in the now, that is the sheer drive that causes the Wave Machine to be our constant friend and guide.
