Snowy, the frosty alias of Bonni Evensen, might finish a job that AA could only begin. Starkly framed with a cinematic eye by co-producers Steven Roback (Rain Parade) and Tim Mooney (American Music Club), Evensen's haunting, wee-hours contralto might make anyone think twice about going down into the basement for that second, late-night bottle of wine. Her spidery vocals on “Three a.m.” slide effortlessly, without a trace of vibrato, behind Roback’s reverbed piano and “Fool On The Hill” synthesized-flute passages. The Beatles (and Sergio Mendes’ Brasil ‘66), needless to say, are just ghostly snapshots in this crumbling scrapbook of a record.The hypnotic, gently swaying “Candlenight” takes up where Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval and David Roback (Steven’s brother) dropped the ball 10 years ago. The cobwebbed “Surf Song,” more Blair Witch Project than Endless Summer, is frightening enough to make Dick Dale paint his fingernails black. Since Kendra Smith (Dream Syndicate, Opal) has apparently retired to a life of organic vegetable gardening in the Northern California outback, Evensen and her trance-inducing debut are now entrusted with shouldering the universe, Atlas-like, for the legions of the melancholy and morose. She seems perfectly suited to the task.
