Kathryn Mohr - Waiting Room (2025)
"Waiting Room" has been lauded for its evocative and immersive qualities. Critics highlight Mohr's ability to harness feelings of discomfort and isolation, infusing her compositions with a lingering, impressionistic gloom. The album, written during a residency at an abandoned Icelandic fish factory, utilizes field recordings, reverbed vocals, and stark instrumentals to create a distinctive filmic quality. The natural and industrial elements collide, producing an uncanny, haunted atmosphere. Mohr's blend of sinister production and gentle vocals bridges the eerie and the sublime, resulting in a work that is both unsettling and beautiful.
