A Folktronica Collection – Lentic – 2009
Basic Package
Customer Review by Dan Bober:
“I know.”
Thus begins the immensely talented Ms. Swift’s latest and arguably most intimate project. Lentic finds Ember permeated with her discovery (or is it rediscovery?) of China and newly found love and sense of self.

Teamed with producer Tim Rideout, this gives her an entirely new and silky set of sonic threads from which she embroiders ambient, dance, acoustic, jazz, pop, rock and Cabaret sheathes for her lyrics. Older fans will find comfort in What Were You Thinking, new fans can drop the digital needle anywhere without regret. In either case, you have to be prepared to be pierced as Ember reveals herself lyrically. Alternating between English and Chinese, she finds her new self and love and catches her breath. Although Lentic means “of or relating to or living in still waters,” her thoughts move. And, contrary to the lyrics in What Were You Thinking, the singer and the song, the author and the book got the words RIGHT. She knows.
