Milenasong's SEVEN SISTERS starts off with country-western heartbreak: the soft guitar and banjo plucks of "Sara," augmented by the yawning steel guitar. But the thrum and creeping darkness of "Casey On Fire" quickly squashes the thought that this is all twee folk pop, though "Thirty" immediately contradicts me. But it's certainly not twee; it has the uneasiness of Appalachian murder songs, and the feedback and buzz of "Nightlost Trains" augment this feel. But Milenasong can also get perky too: "Lily Wyatt" goes upbeat. But moodiness is her best friend: "Something Else" sounds like a stroll through a house haunted by the ghost of a lovelorn mother (echoing the later "Standby"), and the gentle strum of "Love Feel You Do" benefits from the harmonic duet on the vocals. But when it's just her and gramaphone-distorted strings, as on "Figs Tree," the effect can be just as powerful. A strange, intriguing album.
