Moody, melodic, and captivating. Beautiful subtlety at work with a female vocal that captures the real essence of the songs and never falls into cliche. Recommended to the highest degree.

Album Notes

"Soma create a powerful mood....This band have a lot of depth. Very unique"

SOMA's 2nd full length album 'black rock city star' moves through haunting folk breezes to blisters of nervousness.
This band are steeped in a powerful restraint; the music allows you to create your own sound-scape within its confines and once the song ends, there is no choice but to listen again.

Soma's debut album is now available for digital download at:
iTunes,Rhapsody & MP3Tunes

Perfect 3 A.M. wind down music with floating vocals and spacey instrumentation. Major label quality from an indie label.

Beautiful, moody, sensual rock; a great CD.

The stand-out for this band is the sensuous, dark, moody vocals. Reminds me a little of Evanescance in the vocal department though the feel is much more laid back and dreamy. The songs are slow, sensual, the instrumentation at the minimalist end, there as a backdrop to the vocals rather than to be heard in there own right. The production is excellent, the songs and sound are quite beautiful. I imagine this band playing in a quiet jazz club late at night, a smoke filled room where people come to listen and feel rather than get mesmerised by a blast of sound. These songs are perfect for a late night, quietness, when the noise is all done for the day. I love it and I recommend it.

This was my first experience with Soma's music and I am very happy about finding them. This CD is a beautiful, atmospheric, haunting experience and is great for those moments in which one wants to relax and listen. The lyrics are beautiful and poetic. I don't put five stars only because the album is alittle bit monotonous, a little more variations on its themes would have made this CD a masterpiece. Still very enjoyable.

a great sound with which to block out the world's noise. laura's voice joins the instruments rather than competing with them on any level...
