Carrie Biell's most prominent aspect of her music is her voice. Angelic and rootsy, The young singer's pipes have a deep woody resonance and contain the folky maturity that made Nico so attractive. The songs on When Your Feet Hit The Stars are produced with expertise and are thoughtfully experiential; immersing the listener in Biell's past and future. What really makes the songs provocative though is the material which references her parent's emotional isolation, both being deaf. At times Biell seems to embody her mother, freeing her locked voice and vanquishing her creeping blindness. Unfortunately the songs remain intimately personal, never addressing broader issues. With time though the listener becomes acquainted with Biell's storytelling, and feels privileged to sit in the company of such beauty, especially when she sings lines such as "My mother she said to me / I lost my eyes when you were a child / And I never got to see you / Turn into a lady"("Gone Without Me"). If there is two words I would attribute to Carrie Biell's When Your Feet Hit The Stars they would be 'hauntingly moving'. Here is a singer/songwriter with a gripping voice and timeless musicianship (made possible by Steve Norman on slide guitar, Daniel Hunt on drums, Joe Woulett on Bass, and Katie Mosehauer on violin) who is going to be around for a long, long time.
