Warsaw-based cellist/composer Resina (Karolina Rec) returns with a first standalone album in three years, taking a big step forward on a bold and brilliantly expansive record that explores ideas about language, the voice and the unpredictability of nature. Recorded by Resina and Michal Kupicz, with striking additional mixing and production work by Daniel Rejmer (Ben Frost, Bjork, Foals, Girls Names), Speechless is fluid and muscular, with wide dynamics and a dark and powerful dramatic weight. An amalgamation of noise, rock, ambient, choral and classical elements, Speechless shifts from gossamer beauty to glowering threat; from pulsing minimalism to full-bore propulsive blow-outs. As well as moments of great beauty, it is shot through with shrieks and howls, cavernous bass drops, sirens and sudden pitch shifts. It is a bold and adventurous work that synthesises the very best of her previous two albums and packs a powerful punch.
