Livanskiy,Kedr - Liminal Soul (Sealed) (CD)

When asked to explain the title of her third full-length album, Liminal Soul, Russian producer/musician Kedr Livanskiy states, “I was trying to feel about the boundary between the opposites – analogue and digital, natural and urban, a sound and voice and then erase it. It is such an intense interlacement of meanings, so the music came out liminal, ever-changing, elusive.” It’s an apt reflection on a record that feels at once expansive and timeless - the self-produced Liminal Soul finds her pushing the boundaries of electronic songwriting while also remaining true to her sonic roots, making peace with her own transience in the process. Bringing her crystalline voice to the forefront, she channels it into operatic choruses, looping falsetto, and her first full song in English. On Liminal Soul she’s injected her infectious club beats with a dose of the natural, crafting an expansive collection of deconstructed break pop.
