On <a title="Olive Skinned, Silver Tongued Siren Sings Swan Songs" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/rew/"><em>Olive Skinned, Silver Tongued Siren Sings Swan Songs</em></a>, the eclectic songcraft of REW&lt;&lt; (Ryan E. Weber) is refracted through the lens of a laptop, conveying the open-endedness, excitement and disconnection of post-modern living while maintaining the immediacy of pop. From the grand to the intimate, REW&lt;&lt;’s many shades blend beautifully within the one canvas thanks to Weber’s skilled hand. His compositional dexterity manages to invest the album’s dreaminess with a sense of drama. From shimmering, widescreen electronic pop to haunting, minimal ballads, REW&lt;&lt; traverses dizzyingly varied terrain across the album’s 30 minutes, crafting a vivid journey that demands repeat visits.

The new <a title="YouTube" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0kb_0PnuM4" target="_blank">music video</a> for album track ‘Swan’s Melody’ is a perfect visual analogue of the song's bittersweet charms. As the elegant movements of trapeze artists are mirrored and warped as if viewed through a kaleidoscope, the gravity-defying beauty of the song's piano lines and Ryan Weber's aching vocals are deepened in pathos.
