Fifty-word review
7.9 out of 10
Strung with hopeful iridescent waltzes pressed from a piano, Philharmonics is a staggeringly wise, refined, and enchanting first record. Tiptoeing across the sound waves, Obel repairs her listener’s sense of feminine harmony as each purposeful note in flawless accord with its neighbors unassumingly stirs the imagination and anesthetizes the ego.
