why we love this
Gentle guitar caresses intertwine with ethereal vocals, moving unhurriedly and gracefully as if leaves drifting on a quiet stream.
about the record
soccer Committee has always been a consistent exercise in restraint and offering space. And on ‘♥/Lamb’, this approach has been taken to perfection.
The arrangements remain minimal, allowing plenty of time for the tones and melodies to resonate with maximum impact. However, a few very subtle extra layers have been added on tracks such as 'No turn to harm' and 'Reaching' compared to her earlier work. She even enlisted the help of Wouter Van Veldhoven to incorporate a tape loop recording on 'Aride Afar', which proves remarkably effective. The track hovers on the edge of disintegration, but it takes a master like Baars to keep it together. And then, soccer Committee takes another leap in the dark: the B-side opens with 'Imagining you in the room'. This mostly acapella song stands as Baars' longest composition thus far. Yet, not a single tone is redundant, and Baars delivers it so skillfully and humbly that it feels like a symphony on its own.
On '♥/Lamb', the unwavering focus of Baars is so present that it becomes impossible for the listener not to remain engaged. What sets Baars apart is her ability to make it sound so comforting and reassuring, instead of demanding attention. '♥/Lamb' is an invitation that you will be more than happy to accept.
