Singer/songwriter Rachel Eckroth teams up with Jesse Fischer/key-dr, Chris Parrello/g-uk and Myles David Lancette/voc-dobro-perc as she contributes her own keyboards and arrangements to a collection of originals that deal with relationships and their endings. Her breathy and earthy voice sounds sincere and heartfelt, and she puts it in a number of various environments, while the moods are always a bit vulnerable and fragile. Strumming ukulele supports her on “Sunrise” while loops and foreboding synths surround her during “Words Don’t Mean.” A brooding bass and genteel percussion creates a frame for “Future” and some funky beats ar on the rockish “A Million Dreams” and a chugging “Muse.” Various hues all ending up with blue.
