I've always had a soft spot for piano-led modern classical music, and Kelly Moran's latest album veers away from her usual post-minimal electronic fare to embrace an impressionistic style of modern classical music. This album whimsically transitions from movement to movement without missing a beat, encapsulating a sense of optimism that's both refreshing and needed. It suggests that no matter the challenges in life, brighter days are ahead. While the album could benefit from richer textures in places and not every track is memorable, certain pieces stand out with their ability to transport you. ?Moves in the Field,? for instance, takes you to a place that's sunny and bright.
