The
first little while on this cassette is instrumental, so it makes me think we
won’t be getting vocals and based upon what I’m hearing I’m fine with
that. But through the ambient guitar
notes we begin to get some whispering of vocals out and it is quite soothing.
These
soft and sweet songs are a nice mix of instrumental and vocals with probably
something like a 65/35 split. When there
aren’t vocals there don’t need to be (nothing feels missing) and when there are
vocals it doesn’t feel like they’re overcomplicating things either, so it truly
is the perfect formula.
Some of
the parts repeat musically and that makes me think of loops, but some of the
lyrics repeat themselves in less of a loop way and more of a being sung
repeatedly manner. I like this, as
sometimes it feels like a single song has a thousand words in it but they’re
one sentence of ten different words uttered a hundred times over. (That’s an exaggeration on the part of the
numbers game there, folks)
One of
my favorite lines throughout this tape becomes the chorus to one of the better
songs and it says, “I’d run for my life but I don’t think I’d catch it”. Much like that line itself, this is just isn’t
really on the same playing field as much else musically, vocally or
lyrically. Mariposa has created a class
all of her own and in a lot of ways I feel like each and every musician should
do exactly that.
