_DESCRIPTION_:
(2021) Early Fern - Place of Rest
Review:
The sounds of nature are part and parcel of Place of Rest, the new record from Early Fern. Recorded while they were living in a cabin situated on a friend’s farm in Virginia, the record captures the sounds and spirit of their isolated environs. There are more literal interpolations of their naturalistic habitat, like the babbling brooks rumbling on “Spring Green.” But more frequently, the album tracks the overwhelming tranquility of Early Fern’s connection to their home — the pitched synths on “Globes of Light” mirror the quiet beauty of waking with the sunrise; “Snowy Woods” chimes with featherlight melodies, like a faint, gorgeous echo of “Nutcracker Suite.” The album ebbs and flows with energy, just as Early Fern’s experience on the farm changed throughout the recording process — refurbishing a cabin for winter, preparing the land for another growing season. It’s a restorative listen even if your Place of Rest is far less remote than Early Fern’s farm.
