Whenever I scavenge a good record, I feel accomplished. You’ll all then understand how my day was made the moment I came across Pearl Charles. Like a water mirage in a brutal desert, the Angeleno songstress appeared for a brief moment, sharing her whimsical psychedelia with anyone open to listen. ‘Step Too Far’ is the strongest evidence of that, a wonderfully elegant and buoyant piece steeped in psych-pop and folk, with a decisively retro flair.
In it, Pearl Charles layers her soothing, cathartic vocals with confidence and charisma, wrapping listeners into gentle, floaty atmospheres and an overwhelming sense of weightlessness. It’s a unique, vibrant sonic journey that everyone should partake in, at least once. ‘Step Too Far’ is all of that and more – don’t take our word for it, and join Pearl Charles’ stunningly unique world.
