Description:
The fragile voice of Sarah Assbring lends itself beautifully to the angelic lullabies on From the Valley to the Stars, her second album. The title of the work calls to mind the greatest depths and heights of our world, and Assbring`s smooth voice, paired with a variety of instruments from a somber church organ to playful flute, takes listeners to the same extremes in 16 songs. . .The extremely talented solo artist juxtaposes simple, nursery rhyme - like rhythms with profound musings. Overall, this album aches with mystery and pain, yet manages to remain tranquil. Sarahs unique combination of light and dark, high and low can be summed up in her song `Your Name is Never Ending` in which she sings, `You are a memory/ these days its all you are/ I have a memory/ sometimes its all Ive got/ dont mean its over/ just means youre never ending.` -- Adrianne Munkacsy, Feminist Review
