"I become aware of the subtle beauty of A Temporary Dive, Brun's second album. Hidden delights like the mystical classicism of the opener "To Let Myself Go" and the bluesy despondency of "My Lover Will Go," augmented by swooping strings, come to the fore, like a stranger walking out of the fog. The minimal accompaniment of Bruns meditative acoustic finger picking, performed with delicacy and troubled expression, in the title track and "Rubber & Soul" gives Brun an appropriately empty stage from which to expel her inner demons in soul-baring lyrics. The same is true of "Laid In Earth," Brun's reverential reworking of a 17th century aria written by Henry Purcell, but it..s the lovely mix of violins and cello arranged by Malene Bay-Foged that sends it hurtling to the depths of despair.
