Ode to the Marionette- Sleepless Dreaming

Ode to the Marionette: An uncommon name, and even more uncommon music. Julia Brochay’s singing reminds me of a fairytale princess stuck inside a tower awaiting her savior, and the music that she and Christian Lowsley create follows suit. Their latest release, Sleepless Dreaming, is a leisurely trip through Brochay’s mind, with the classically trained Lowsley at the wheel of the ship.

The composition throughout the record is strangely awesome, always seeming to match the lyrics and showcasing nothing, if not raw, musical mastery. It comes together somewhere between jazz, pop, and light rock, demonstrating the group’s ability to ignore conventional genre lines to find a sound uniquely their own.
