Nevertheless, there\u2019s a masterful mix of late &#8217;60s Miles Davis and the haunting minimalist synth-pop of Philip Glass that allows Grimes\u2019 music the space it needs to play with the listener\u2019s emotions without forcing her hand. Though she calls her music \u201cchamber pop,\u201d her ability to flawlessly mix genres hints at the beginning of a new age of contemporary jazz. For proof, I would direct you to the single \u201cThe Herald,\u201d a mash-up of 60 years of jazz and classical reliefs that are funneled through pop filters.<\/p>\n<p>For those listening to <i>The Clearing<\/i> cold, the entire piece may escape you. Much like her 2009 effort, <i>Book of Leaves<\/i>, the album works best when it\u2019s digested as one long movement. Each ebb and flow strips away more and more of Grimes\u2019 musical muscle until the only thing that\u2019s left is the beating heart of her music: a mixed bag of swirling nature and emotional gray matter. This is this is why this album works. Where some musicians fake their emotions for money, Rachel Grimes only makes music that <i>she<\/i> would be proud of and <i>The Clearing<\/i> is definitely a work that shines amongst her own work, not to mention that of her contemporaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would be a disservice to the work she\u2019s created in the past to pick through Rachel Grimes\u2019 most recent record, the aptly named <i>The Clearing<\/i>, without first<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2],"tags":[34,1259,823],"class_list":["post-3505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-album-reviews","tag-album-review","tag-rachel-grimes","tag-temporary-residence-ltd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
