David Sylvian - There's a Light That Enters Houses With No Other House in Sight
Revisiting this after a couple of months and it's still one of the most captivating albums I've ever listened to. The music, made up of John Tillbury's troubled, wandering piano, Christian Fennesz's understated electronics, and Sylvian's occasional guitar makes for an incredibly haunting piece. That's before Franz Wright's multiple poems come in to add another layer of torment and isolation. His style is really visceral yet opaque and really strikes the right chord with me. The composition in itself tells a story, but implementing that element is what really draws me into this album.
