Alastair Galbraith, Mirrorwork (side A)

When I think of Alastair Galbraith's work, I think of the dynamic qualities of Morse, where occasionally his electric guitar playing can hint at heaviness. 1998's Mirrorwork is more consistently delicate, with more focus on acoustic instruments and particularly fragile vocals. Galbraith's cover paintings are as beautiful and introspective as the music, and his primitive recording techniques continue to flatter his songwriting and performances.
