Malone's album, a hushed, meditative collection of pieces, is steeped in melancholy that invites deep reflection rather than mere comfort, challenging the listener.
The music, initially appearing as minimalist repetition, contains a profound harmonic tension, where dissonances punctuate almost every bar, creating a persistent emotional struggle.
The live performance at Lincoln Center revealed the work's complexities, transforming what may seem mundane through its layers of harmonic intricacies and emotional resonance.
All Life Long embraces a stark beauty reminiscent of late Middle Ages polyphony, compelling listeners to confront their own feelings of sorrow and longing.
