Ruth Mascelli Non-Stop Healing Frequency (Vinyl)

Theres a sense of starry-eyed wonder on Non-Stop Healing Frequency, Ruth Mascellis second solo album under his own name.

Many of the records 11 tracks use a simple mix of mid-tempo drum machine beats and sparkly synths to create constellations of sound. Its as if Mascelli made these pieces while lying down in a field late at night, staring at the sky.

Take the plainly-titled Everyday Life; small waves and whirrs gradually surround the slow keyboard line, as Mascelli travels the spaceways in a manner not far from Flaming Lipss Pink Floyd-inspired journeys.

But Non-Stop Healing Frequency is more than just a celestial trip. Thats because Mascelli balances his outward excursions with poignant, beautifully-sung ballads.

Its certainly no coincidence that the albums most moving piece is a cover of a Judee Sill tune called Lopin Along Thru the Cosmos. The fact that this comes right before songs with names such as Interior Castle and Mind War suggests that for Mascelli, human emotions are as spellbinding as the universes outer limits.

As he puts it in the album notes, hes exploring ways people try to make sense of an insane worlda quest as applicable to our inner spaces as to the world around us.
