FIFTY GRAND
“Time Will Darken It”
Helena’s Skin (out now, self-released)
While Elliott Onofrio’s new EP is teaming with darkness, there’s always just enough light seeping through the blinds to illuminate the subtle beauty in each of its six songs. The one that grabbed me most is probably its most palpably light number: the eery, cinematic “Time Will Darken It.” Its harp loop feels like one of those horror movie scores that somehow conveys both calmness and dread. It’s the music that plays in the beginning of the movie that foreshadows that the cute little kid that you’re getting to know is about to do some seriously horrible shit.
