Lolli Wren's new album, "To Build a Sea" practically insists on sensation. It's a battle cry and an emotional odyssey , all rolled into 32 minutes and 36 seconds of sonic brilliance.
"To Build a Sea" it's clear Wren is holding nothing back. It's a fevered anthem of perseverance, driven by hypnotic guitar loops and live drums that throb like a primitive heart. Overall, it has echoes of Pink Floyd and Tool, but Wren's sound is raw, haunting, and unapologetically powerful.
Her voice is centrally located, a force of nature that doesn't just communicate emotion but demands it. Every lyric drips with conviction, whether she's whispering truths or launching into unshakeable catharsis. No wonder reaction channels like The Charismatic Voice focus on this kind of music. This is music that isn't just played; it devours you.
Strong tracks such as "Build a Sea" and "In a Wave" demonstrate Wren's aptitude for threading complex, almost scene-work-style soundscapes together. She'll coax you in with delicate introspection one moment and then detonate into a wall of sound the next, leaving you breathless. Each track is its storm, but together, they become a tempest you won't want to go.
With "To Build a Sea", Lolli Wren doesn't just claim the alternative rock scene. She rules it. Get ready to be shaken and, ultimately, owned by this album.
