Caroline
Murmurs Mixes
Temporary Residence Ltd.

As I was pondering what to write in this record review, I couldn’t help but think of the song “Sweet Caroline” by one Mr. Neil Diamond. I’m not sure why, but my thoughts continued to roll over that same hill to discover notions like, “…Diamond… Caroline… Ruby… What a Gem…” My conclusion of the meaning of these linked thoughts? This album is a sweet, precious stone by the artist Caroline. For those who appreciated Caroline’s debut album Murmurs, the restructured Murmurs Mixes is an appetizing bit of digital dessert that seems parallel to the sound already forged by female forerunners The Cardigans, Sugarcubes, and Frente. You may want to go directly for the album upgrade Mixes, as I’m finding that I like the remixes better than the primary recording. Perhaps the inspiration & contributions from audio allies Wake, Andreas Bjork, and DJ Poignant are what make this record worth getting. This iTunes exclusive is a perfect follow-up to the original Temporary Residence Ltd. release that was already impressive. Once again, this label has found another gem. – Kelly D.
