    Ode to Sentience sports elegant, graceful chamber-folk arrangements that make the most of the space between the instruments.

    White is an accomplished storyteller – and stories and music both represent the best of what a ghost can be: incomplete presences, something that seems substantial in the moment but disappears in a matter of minutes, leaving only an impression in your mind.

    There's an undeniably unsettled, even creepy gothic quality to her noir approach that takes hold early and gradually ratchets up as the eleven tunes gently tangle and unwind.

    Ode To Sentience, while it's far from being a radical departure, has plenty of surprises.

    Luckily, she pushes forward more than she retreats back on this solid record.
