OPUS ZINE //

In addition to Francesconi's deftly picked guitar and De La Mora's breathy voice, wisps of cello, trumpet, flute, and harp drift through the album gentle as a breeze, never upsetting its delicate balance.  As is always the case with Francesconi, the arrangements possess both an assuredness and a sense of restraint; each instrument is present only to the extent to which it's needed for the most aesthetic impact, and once through, is softly and quietly retired.  The result is music that moves efficiently without sounding hollow and artificial, music that is full of embellishment while sounding neither gaudy nor ostentatious.

The album's finest moments, though, come when the silvery tones of Joanna Newsom's harp join the mix.  The album's title track unfurls to reveal a rushing, ever-growing spiral of graceful guitars, playful harp strings, and fragile, pensive vocals.  Every note sounds as if it has been bathed in silvery twilight, and, at the risk of sounding all psych-folk-y, it's difficult not to picture ethereal creatures caught up in a slow, stately waltz in some forgotten sylvan glade.  So spellbinding is the song that its abrupt ending is jarring in an almost physical manner.

...The contrast is so sharp, the mixture of the seasons—the chill of winter with the green of spring—quite evocative.  Eleven Continents is a perfect soundtrack for days such as these, the melancholy arrangements meshing quite nicely with the forlorn skies even as the gentle and soothing vocals point the way towards brighter—and warmer—days. - Jason Morehead, OpusZine
