d'Eon Cleverly Channels Bygone Eras on "Figurine"
Exclaim! Staff Picks
"Figurine" compels me to tend a garden and organize an Exclaim! staff trip to a rumoured renaissance fair around Barrie, or log an unfathomable amount of hours scrolling @RedwallFeasts and laying siege in Age of Empires II. Introduced by foundational guitar arpeggios, an oboe then joins to weave a melody throughout the sharply plucked strings, later playing call-and-response with an airy flute. The already pleasant arrangement ascends further upon the arrival of a shimmering hammered dulcimer, playing off the oboe until each instrument retires to their quarters.
