Ambient dream pop, a rolling liquid vibe with electronic accents, female vocals, glitchy music boxes and sleepy atmospherics "Blue Cotton Skin is a subdued but lush escape, and [Jessica] Peters has created a wonderful collection of music that quietly begs to be pulled in and wrapped around you like a warm blanket around a welcome lover." Earpollution "...Petracovich sounds like Aimee Mann fronting Sparklehorse with Beth Orton calling in plays from the sidelines. Of course, just because the dots are so easily connected doesn't mean Blue Cotton Skin is a simple piece of work. Petracovich mastermind Jessica Peters produces a hypnotic dreamtime soundtrack, all misty insinuations and shimmering mirages, a surprisingly enduring album of muffled bedroom folktronica wrapped in the silken sheen of Peters' subdued songbird voice." Pitchfork "Jessica Peters' voice is soft and seductive as it coos over "Nighttime"'s big beats, revolving atmospheres, and haunting keys...Initially, I leaned towards the album's more electronic moments such as "Nighttime". But during repeated listens, I quickly warmed up to the rest of the album. I found myself detecting the subtle touches that Peters and the other musicians worked in so nicely, the little electronic bits and pieces that only reveal themselves when they want to. This only happens when an artist can combine those elements to the point where you can't tell where one ends and the other begins. On Blue Cotton Skin, Peters makes it sound all too easy." Opuszine |
