Pearla's music radiates with indiscriminate awe. Whether it's the befuddling depths of nature or the profoundly strange spark of a dreaming mind_she takes it all as equal magic.

Her voice escapes its visceral vessel and reaches core-shaking peaks as she distantly echoes: You stole my universe. On "Funny In Dreams," she lifts off into stream-of-conscious light and puts forth some of her best questions_What's the opposite of a star anyway? / Are there places in...
