Lydia Ainsworth is a wicked-awesome Canadian composer, producer, and singer with two experimental, original, amazing albums available for your listening pleasure: Right from Real, and the new (last year) Darling of the Afterglow.
“Afterglow” is a lush, numinous experience, intoned in Ainsworth’s emotive low, rich voice. “The Road” feels a little bit poppier, but no less witchy given that the music video prominently features a balletic tea party/tarot reading/spell circle.
“Candle” is whispery, and poetic, and I think it might actually be at least a little bit about spell candles? Even if not, it’s got some cool mixing and instrumentation.
“White Shadows” feels so natural – at times a babbling brook, a times the wind soughing through the trees – accompanying Ainsworth’s lyrics about the things “between the unknown and the named”.
Actually, reflecting on all of the lyrics, am I sure Lydia Ainsworth isn’t actually a witch? No, I am not. Her song “Moonstone” literally features a creepy child voice chanting about some of your favorite gemstones for witch workings. This calls for some investigation. I will report back any findings.
Wickedly Yours,
Baba Yaga
