AC Sapphire's cosmic sound blends disparate elements into an ethereal folk rock while her strong voice shakes listeners awake as she spins her passionate dust-blasted tales on her latest release, Omni Present...

The 6 songs on AC Sapphire's new LP, Omni Present, represent just 25 min, 54 sec, making it more an EP rather than a full length album. It's a shame, because what it lacks in duration it more than makes up for in sheer quality. Each song is a perfectly crafted mini masterpiece. It's a shame that a full album wasn't produced, but on balance I'd rather have this than a handful of tacked on b-siders to fill out the space.

Sapphire's ability to craft beautiful songs is perfectly matched by her hauntingly spot on delivery. Like a siren, she draws you in to deeper waters. A wonderful release. I can't wait for a full LP of songs of the same quality.
