Known as the former vocalist of Jess And The Ancient Ones, Jasmin Lempinen continues to focus on her solo career presenting her fascinating artistic vision on the new Jess By The Lake album entitled “Human” recorded fully analog to achieve an authentic sound.
“Jaleihou” flows spontaneously like an unapologetic jam session and guitars aptly choose a delightful vintage sound that emphasizes a glorious rock essence building brighter catchy rhythmic patterns around Jasmin’s charismatic vocal performance.
The groovy rhythmic core of “Wandering Kind” highlights a highly energizing riffage and fiery drumming yet there is a profoundly nostalgic melodic mood amplified by warm vocals.
On “Sister” moody guitars deliberately embrace a mellow ballad style with soulful bluesy tonalities and seductive leads that can generate electrifying rhythmic crescendos.
The intricate track “How Could You Tell” relies on the strong rhythmic section showcasing a rebellious rocker attitude while the atmospheric quality of the slower passages evokes sheer melancholia with eloquent whispered vocals.
“Holy Grove” offers a mystical grand finale as airy atmospheric waves are entwined with gritty guitar riffs characterized by understated darker nuances and Jasmin’s magical voice guides you safely through a hazy rhythmic maze.
Exploring the human soul and expansive musical territories Jess By The Lake looks for honesty and confidently follows a personal sonic pathway that now leads straight to the cathartic soundscapes of “Human”.
