Faith & Disease have chosen to utilize an extremely minimalistic approach to
their music with the release of their fourth album "Insularia". The percussion,
woodwind instruments, guitars, and stringed instruments are kept very subdued
and restrained. Instead all the power and mood of the music is expressed in the
vocals of Dara Rosewater. It is her dynamic vocal arrange that really brings
out the passion and creates the aural imagery on this album. The
instrumentation only serves as coloring and texturing to her voice. In fact,
the album would be just as impressive if Dara sung it all acapella, albeit
this would remove the need for the rest of the band who all are very talented in
their own right. It is this minimalistic approach to "Insularia", that bring
about Daria's comparison to such prominent vocalists such as Lisa Gerrard and
Sarah McLaughlin. Other Gothic artists should certainly take note of how Faith
& Disease execute themselves on this record because this is how all good dark
music should be written.
