About
After years of abstraction, there’s a newfound clarity in 1993’s <i>Four-Calendar Café</i>. On “Bluebeard,” Robin Guthrie’s steel guitar lends a hint of country music—an unusually earthy reference for such an otherworldly duo—and Elizabeth Fraser’s shape-shifting vocals are singularly intelligible; “Evangeline,” with its plainspoken admissions (“I am not the same/I’m growing up again”), marks an unexpected shift from childlike wonder to clear-eyed adulthood. But their atmospheres are as seductively gorgeous as ever—particularly on “My Truth,” which shimmers like a curtain of icicles.
