Littleuniverses “Corners”

Littleuniverses is a Canadian singer-songwriter who travels between genres. Corners explore the evolving emotional states of isolation within 4 corners of an apartment with intense, experimental, imaginative shoegazing soundscapes.

Littleuniverses’ voice is versatile and full of potential. There are times when the way she uses her voice to express those extreme and undescribable feelings simply amaze you. While the soft and melancholy texture can be quite a charm in other cases.

“Getting By” opens with clocking guitars and moody vocals instantly dragging you into the swirling pausation of time. “Getting By” is one of the songs that stand right in between the dazzling soundscape and more explosive rock. It’s unstable, tender, and slightly angst-filled.

“Isolation” flows in the ethereal melancholy, dark atmospheric soundscape where Littleuniverses’ voice guides you deeper into the maddening inner world. “I heard a knocking late at night; Got out of bed, turned on the lights to see. I am afraid of me. I heard a voice calling my name; Swear it was yours but once again I was wrong; No one there but me.” The song draws a resemblance to the acoustic works of PJ Harvey.

The sparks of intuitive vocal passages evolve into entrancing sirens and powerful expressions in “Broken Dreams.” The multiple layers of vocal reflections form nocturnal, immersive waves that float and surround the lyrical line.
