Still Corners : Strange Pleasures (2013)

Still Corners, the musical project of songwriter/producer Greg Hughes and vocalist Tessa Murray, taps into a quiet, but powerful niche all to its own. The London-based duo is a force that combines unadulterated talent with an atmospheric mystique that indie pundit and novices alike should be able to appreciate.

Released May 7, 2013, the pair’s second, full-length album, Strange Pleasures, is filled to the brim with confessions, admonitions and apologies—bare and out there. Listeners won’t be able to help but drink in the intoxicating sounds of the album’s first track, “The Trip.” As the flirtatious soprano of Murray’s voice melts into a layering of guitar motifs and the ethereal pitter-pattering of scattered notes, everything seems to fall into place. Evoking the bluesy-rock sensibilities of Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 hit “Dreams,” “The Trip” pulls the listener in like a piece of art, coaxing him into a slowdown so that he might stop and take it all in.

Rickety synths juxtapose Murray’s wispy lyricism in “Berlin Lovers,” a track that follows the more pop-minded vein of its roots. Listeners are drawn in by the darling lure of lighthearted tones and warped beats, calling to attention Still Corners’ ability to impress with a variety of methodologies while, at the same time, maintaining a sound all to its own. “Berlin Lovers” manages to be light without being lightweight, with a minimalistic feel that resonates from start to finish. The album’s penultimate and eponymous track promises to lead the listener to that which is suggested in its title—and follows through. “Strange Pleasures” is as cosmic as it is dangerous, with wraithlike cadences serving as the bedrock of its melody.

Still Corners’ melodies are introspective and intimate—delicate, but magical like the fingertips of a curious love. It is exactly this tenacious touch that will have the duo’s listeners aching for more.
