Gia Margaret s Romantic Piano is informed by innocence and experience, and has gorgeous moments replacing silence by reorganizing background sounds of everyday life.
Built around wistful piano pieces that follow unexpected paths, the Chicago composer’s third album has far more personality and strangeness than its almost aggressively generic title suggests.
On Romantic Piano, Gia Margaret creates a soundscape of pianos and field recordings that capture the fleeting, sometimes-overlooked beauty of our immediate surroundings.
