With artful control of effects and loops, Tara Pasveer conjures dream worlds through sound and song. Drenched in melody and with a foundation of experimentation and eccentricity, her music for voice, electronics, and various other instruments like flute and banjo brings to mind the ghostly vocal ambience of Cocteau Twins and the bright, synthetic-yet-earthly tones of Vespertine-era Björk. Resounding flourishes of flute – each refrain doubled and trebled with looping delay and reverb – meld seamlessly with Pasveer’s voice, which delivers otherworldly sentiments through a combination of English and invented languages. Pasveer’s debut EP Og Imtel (2023), on label sly-tone, paints an eerie yet hopeful picture of forlorn wandering with its meandering melodies and warm ambient production; unlike a picture, the sound worlds of Pasveer are not static entities, but rather move and warp and grasp all in their path with a warm embrace.
