Luna Keller x Thomas LaVine - “Phlox”
Cologne-based Luna Keller returns to us with “Phlox,” a song cowritten with USA-based Thomas LaVine.
This intimate slice of indie folk begins with the quiet strums of acoustic guitar, with hints of cinematic ambience emerging in the distance. Like a magnificent wave, the vocal performance rushes into the listener, with both Keller and LaVine delivering a choir-like duet that will stay with you long after “Phlox” has ended.
Despite the song residing along a sparsely recorded plane, delicate and ethereal tones pad the soundscape, giving a grand sense of depth and a touch of commercial polish. The emotion in the vocal delivery allows “Phlox” to reach a crescendo around midpoint, with additional layers of auxiliary providing an astounding width to the overall listening experience.
