piano

“I tried to play the guitar. I tried to play piano. I tried to play everything.”

The melodic sounds of the piano reverberated across the room as members sang “Welcome Home” — a new hymn for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

On many of these songs, Ms. Case places her poetic narratives in a chamber-pop setting, with tasteful orchestrations augmenting guitar, piano, bass and drums.

The album as a whole is airy, bouncy, midtempo and meek, with bubbly keyboards, soft piano and no sonic extremes.

But the circle of pianos provided a sort of unified backdrop that held it all together.
