Freya Arde is no stranger to TSMM, with her first EP immediately grabbing my attention and more recently her wonderful, soundtrack to the documentary on Leni Riefenstah garnering high praise.
Well she continues to delight and surprise, her new single "Precious" sees her getting back to guitar basics and entering a waking dream-state to deliver an ambient folk gem that should help warm the house during the winter months.
Although her guitar training has been somewhat buried of late in her more compositional, production and conducting rolls, she dusts off her trust six string to great effect, picking a pleasingly simple yet mantric tune that propels her gentle delivered message of hope though the speakers, before being joined by the faintest of ambient encouragement in the latter stages.
She 's not finished there though. Make sure you let the accompanying, "Falling In Love Again" play through once "Precious" has finished for an emotive, fuller bodied neoclassical meets hypnotic minimal instrumental ode to affairs of the heart.
Apparently there's an LP due at some stage, hopefully in 2025. If these and the preceding singles are anything to go by then we're in for a treat.
