Olivia Chaney's second solo album, "Shelter," focuses on new self-composed material by this London-based singer/songwriter, matching the warm purity of her vocals with gracefully-crafted arrangements featuring acoustic and electric guitar, violin, piano, and an array of keyboard sounds from mellotron and organ to Rhodes and harmonium.
Give yourself time to be absorbed in Olivia Chaney's "Shelter" and you'll garner rich rewards. As church bells toll the final notes of "Roman Holiday," into the last song, "House on a Hill," the album's moments of illuminated resolution urge you to immerse yourself once again; to absorb the feelings of comfort Chaney hopes the record will bring.
Shelter is an unforgettable album of astounding musicianship, exquisite voice, and insightful composition. "But," says Chaney, "people may be left wondering, is my glass half full or half empty. My favorite art often teeters between the two. I always come back to dualities and contrasts: rebellion/obedience, sacred/profane, ritual/chaos, love/loss, protection/vulnerability." But as the lyrics, haunting vocals, and deceptively simple instrumentation work their magic, in "Shelter" you hear that Chaney's quest has shifted to a new level, with a new sense of hope.
