SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: SPACEPORT – CUT THE LAKE

SPACEPORT
CUT THE LAKE
AURA VORTEX RECORDS

Minneapolis trio Spaceport is back with their second album Cut the Lake, with many missing their first offering Window Seat (2023). Maybe this time around that initial slip will be corrected, as the band’s creative force, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Arianna Wegley, seems be in full form.

Spaceport’s sound might be in that nether ground many indie bands operate in these days – the subdued guitar rock full of quality melody hooks, with added elements from elsewhere.

Spaceport’s added elements though cover quite a wide ground – on that indie rock base they add folk, classical, and ambient/electronic sounds. Of course, the possibility of a sound mess is there, but Wegley and her band seem to swim quite easily in such waters, with their music sounding both as integrated pieces of music rather than just a pile of its parts.

An intriguing album that should make a bit of a splash it deserves.
