I’m sitting at work while I am listening to this song, plugged into my headphones and on the verge of tears. Seriously, this song really has me on the verge of tears. There are few artists that can convey the depth and emotion with just their voice in the way that Leslie DuPre Grimaud can. This is a stunningly powerful track that almost leaves me speechless. This is the third track that Leslie has released through the Subdivision Theory label as she continues to build her Sinking Ships project. Locust begins with the most beautiful and haunting ambience that reminds me of the settling of fog somewhere in the back recesses of a black and white dream. The bass line here is thick and solid, and once Leslie begins to sing her voice fills the track and absolutely brings the music to an altogether different level. Rounding out the cast on this track is Herb Grimaud, [r}topia and Andy Prickett. The lyrics are poetry, the music is strong and the bar is set high for the next track. This is good music, this is music that moves and separates. Please visit the bandcamp site where you can download this track (and her other 2) in any audio file format you could want. This is the music that we should be supporting – there is nothing else out there that is this good… really.
