Melaena Cadiz - Sunfair
Misra Records, 2016
Producer, Engineer, Mixer and Mastering
“The peace so eloquently expressed through sound is balanced with the intrepidity it took to find it laced in the lyrics. Cadiz’s vivacious storytelling, introspection, and candor intertwine in evocative revelations, molding her vulnerability into strength and resolve…
The masterful control of emotion and minimal arrangement dually take the listener on Cadiz’s specific journey and make her self exploration more universally relatable. This album is truly a beautiful portrait of human being in a very specific moment in their life. It’s a moment everyone has had or will have, but few have the ability to eloquently capture it as well as Cadiz.”
“Every now and again, an album comes along and makes you “see” the music. It literally creates visuals in your mind, or encourages you to remember experiences you had. This is one of those pieces of music.”
“Sunfair is a true expansion on Cadiz’s part. She’s always had a way with words, but each of the songs on this album feel like a prose story that’s been set to music…the songs are designed to feel over-exposed and faded out, like a Polaroid left too long in the sun.”
“[The songs] feel dusty and magical in the same way that gorgeous stretch of California wilderness does…”
