“Beautiful Place” opens like sunlight piercing through thick clouds, a living drone that sets the tone for small, blossoming hopes. Greg Jamie’s guitar lines tease out melodies as tangled strings become taut once again, bringing focused energy into a beacon of sonic light. Josephine Foster’s voice echoes the sentiment, heightening the repeated refrain, “Can there be a beautiful place where we can go in this world?” It seems like a simple question on the surface, but grows more haunting with each repetition, the answer remaining perpetually out of reach. Plaintive and resonant reflections march forward undeterred, a growing chorus rising while blackening clouds pepper the horizon.
