Review: Nostalghia – Chrysalis

Nostalghia’s Chrysalis is an otherworldly, eerie combination of intense vocals and uneasily calm synth. The delicate vocals harness an underlying aspect of intensity that slowly builds as the album takes shape. From the soft piano in “Cool for Chaos” to the unhinged “I’d Still Kill You,” this album is a poetic fantasy world of a slowly breaking heroine with uncontrollable emotion. Chrysalis is a soundtrack of madness infused with delicate undertones and subtle chaos. For fans of eclectic electronic, this album will no doubt be heavy in your listening rotation. –Seeth McGavien
