It’s hard to say how she hooked up with CocoRosie‘s operatic half, Sierra Casady, to form Metallic Falcons and it’s hard to say why they only put out one incredible record. One thing is certain — Baim is still in good company with solo record Death of The Sun (DiCristina).
The album includes contributions by Rob Lowe (90 Day Men) and Jana Hunter as well as a puzzling duet with Devendra Banhart. The music gently boasts haunting instrumentation, providing a perfect setting for her atmospheric, almost heartbreaking delivery of hymn-like songs. The album is quiet — too quiet — and may take a few listens but is well worth the patience.
