Founding Cinematic Orchestra member Jason Swinscoe and longtime partner Dominic Smith have enlisted collaborators old and new for their new album ‘To Believe’. Moses Sumney’s tender vocals grace the calming ballad opener ‘To Believe’ before the afro rhythms and spacey washes work with the lyrics of Roots Manuva on the genre straddling ‘A Caged Bird’. The bustling, beat heavy ‘Lessons’ has a soundtrack feel with keys and percussion rising and falling atop the ambient touches while Tawiah’s assured vocals brush the folky-soul ballad ‘Wait For Now/Leave The World’, the more experimental ‘A Promise’ features Heidi Vogel and switches between full, soaring orchestration and Vogel’s stripped back, breathy vocals before the tempo picks up and ends in a crescendo of beats and synths. A strong return for this highly respected outfit.
