Review: Rachel Shearer's work as Lovely Midget offers a hypnotic blend of ambient minimalism and abstract experimentation. Across the record, Shearer's deft touch transforms small sonic details into immersive landscapes, each piece feeling both delicate and deliberate. 'North Head' stands out as a serene and haunting meditation, its subtle shifts in texture creating a quiet sense of unease. Elsewhere, cascading tones and near-silent pauses draw the listener deeper into her auditory world. By weaving sparse instrumentation with an almost tactile approach to sound design, Shearer crafts a listening experience that is deeply introspective yet strangely inviting. This is a work that rewards patience, demanding you listen not just to the notes but to the spaces between them, offering moments of profound stillness and clarity.
