Scottish folk impresario Rachel Sermanni delves into the ether of dreams and memories in search of inspiration with latest single ‘Killer Line’.
This meditative lullaby marks Sermanni’s second taste of her upcoming album Dreamer Awake showcasing her gift for thoughtful songcraft.
Over hushed fingerpicked guitar, Sermanni’s signature vocals sing of grasping at ideas that evaporate like smoke. Though thematically ephemeral, ‘Killer Line’ crystallises into a fully realised reverie, Sermanni’s voice rising and falling through chillingly beautiful melodies.
Amidst the misty lyrics and sung whispers, her hypnotic fingerstyle picking provides an anchor. ‘Killer Line’ finds mysticism in the common experience of forgotten insights, perfectly encapsulating the emotions behind a friend’s cryptic dream.
With its tuneful balance of fragility and strength, this new track proves Sermanni remains a creative force to be reckoned with.
