<img src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/store_images/medium/chromaticsigh_MED.jpg" align="left" height="150" width="150" />Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the official release of the stunning debut album by Rome-based composer <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/elisa-luu/">Elisa Luu</a>.

Though digitally crafted, <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=42&amp;products_id=117"><em>Chromatic Sigh</em></a> is warm, inviting and uniquely human, betraying a vulnerability and sensitivity that is rarely found in the male-dominated sphere of electronica. With its sighing, lilting qualities, Elisa Luu’s music reawakens a sense of childlike wonder and adventure with every sprawling and sparkling track. The album deftly moves in and out of the realms of ambient and electronica, creating a blissful, liminal realm where everything is rendered transformative.

Even before its official release <em>Chromatic Sigh</em> has been catching the attention of critics and fans alike.

<em>“gorgeous stuff, timid and trembling, frail and fragile - the ice sculptured craftsmanship eking out a beauti-fied solitary elegance much recalling the early career work of Mum… most alluring and lulling stuff”</em> <strong>– Losing Today on single ‘The Garden’</strong>

<em>"Chromatic Sigh is an absolute joy to explore, full of emotional resonance. It has a perfect balance between experimentation and melody making it equally satisfying on both an emotional and intellectual level. It’s the work of a composer who knows exactly what she’s aiming for, and knows exactly how to achieve that aim. A terrific debut from a major talent."</em> - <strong>Music Musings and Miscellany</strong>
