    A truly singular statement that vividly captures a century of folk, classic rock, and mid-century electronica.

    Each song of eight on the album develops its own world of feeling, each in a different mode and with a unique musical setting.

    This is they type of sublime, maximalist treasure that should kick positive inspiration downstairs into the emperor-in-his-birthday-suit, for-the-sake-of-it, substance-free charlatan safe room that the experimental/abstract realm of contemporary underground music can sometime seem like.

    The tropes of romantic art are self-consciously manipulated, but the artifice is made plain, and the finished work feels more real as a result.

    With hints of minimalism, psych rock, and even Gregorian chant to be found, Reaching For Indigo is rich, dark and incisive; a work of immense beauty.

    Fohr details her cathartic experience with a smothering array of droning textures and clashing orchestral elements, where she succeeds at making sense out of her cosmic encounter.

    Reaching for Indigo transcends the traditional appeal of a singer-songwriter. Whenever Haley Fohr sings, it’s as if the instrumentation around her is momentarily frozen in time; quite the compliment for an album that surrounds her with so many uncommon vibrations.
