Of course, in comparison with, say, Nick Cave’s ‘Ghosteen’, which was written in the wake of his son’s death and encompassed a whirlpool of drama and heartbreaking emotions, it’s more challenging to compose strong and touching material on such a positive and more common event as the birth of a child. As a musician, you need to be a true visionary and a genius storyteller to connect your joyful experiences with some universal thoughts and feelings to interest listeners, grab their attention, and awaken their emotions.
To do so, Khan ventures into outer space with the help of minimal electronics, blending them with classics and… silence. She always gravitated towards synth-based genres even when doing folk and chamber music, and five years ago, her previous, 80s synth-pop-indebted, record ‘Lost Girls’ perfectly indicated the curve of her future sonic navigation. As a result, on ‘The Dream of Delphi’, sci-fi-ish synths juxtapose with a harp from Joanna Newsom’s playbook, psychedelic beats mix with piano, and saxophone appears adjacent to cyberpunk movie tunes, delivering perhaps her most enigmatic record to date.
