Glastonbury-based artist Dean Carter crafts a lushly inviting soundscape throughout “Hyacinth,” a track off the new album Songs Without Words, Vol. 2. The release boasts a dozen instrumental delights, emphasizing the artist’s captivating songwriting and knack for soothing atmospheric constructions. “Hyacinth” opens the album, and takes inspiration from the memory of Carter’s mother.
Gentle acoustics exude a graceful, lush enamoring as a reflective layering emerges. Heartrending, sporadic twangs past the two-minute turn add further to the caressing yet emotive soundscape. A brief pause a minute thereafter evolves with spine-chilling qualities into the multiple layers of guitars, assembling with serenely meditative appeal. “Hyacinth” continues onward into its hypnotically elegant conclusion, with subtle bird-chirping sounds adding to the organic, nature-set feeling conveyed. “Hyacinth” is among the beautiful pieces of songwriting throughout the album.
