Description
Tiny Lights of Heaven is the fourth and final full-length studio album by the American noise pop band Morella’s Forest, released on Endearing Records in 2002. The album was produced by Jesse Sprinkle of Poor Old Lu fame and Shawn Johnson.
After a four-year layoff, the kids from Morella’s Forest are back on a new set of labels with a slightly modified lineup… and the results are quite nice. Exit the shoegazing of yesteryear and enter a more melodic, indie-pop sensibility.
Sydney Rentz’s understated vocals will remind some of Beki Hemmingway, but with a bit less pop and a bit more of an edge. A beautiful voice that most any guy will fall in love with. And the musicians sound very comfortable with the direction they are headed. While some bands find a measure of success and then continue to put the same album out over and over again, MoFo wants to continue to grow and evolve and move forward, rather than rest on their laurels and live in the past. And this time around band members Jesse Sprinkle and Shawn Johnson head up the production.
Best tunes on the album include «Running», «Choppy», «Sand and the Sea», and «Hopeless». If there is any fault with this album, it is that some of the songs begin to sound too much alike after awhile. A bit more sonic variety would have helped. But all in all this is a disc worth getting. [Ken Mueller, The Phantom Tollbooth, 9/9/02]
