Allie Crow Buckley’s music is a world unto itself. A journey from deep within the forest to the coastal cliffs. In sound, her music is a paradox, capturing the gentle folk of Joni Mitchell alongside the pagan allure of Black Sabbath. She is known for her balance of ethereal, soaring melodies, strong rhythmic elements, and heavy, rooted low end.
There’s a peaceful feel to Buckley’s new single “I’m Not Really Here” that’s prevailing but juxtaposed perfectly with deep heavy bass synths. A steady and tight drum track that’s reminiscent of something from an early Beck album really carries you through the front to back while delay and modulation-heavy keyboards keep things fresh and interesting throughout. The centerpiece is Buckley’s sweet round-toned alto voice that’s effortless as it is expert.
