In recent years Swedish musician Linn?a Talp has grown interested in minimal spaces of sound, increasingly searching for her breath deep within passages of a song when instruments gently and patiently bridge the verses. In 2020 she released COCHLEA, a brooding pop-rock record made under the name DEEREST. "I've been trying to work with my body, my breath and my listening," she says of her work since finishing that release. "I wanted to integrate a sense of slow and simple movement into the music?push/release, forward/backward, inhale/exhale?everything centered around being present, translated into sounding." That transformation is evidenced on her remarkable new album Arch of Motion, a recording marked by exquisite patience and space.
