"Character is cellist and composer Julia Kent's third solo album. Like its predecessors, 2007's Delay and 2011's Green and Grey, she places her cello in concert with an array of digital loops and field recordings. But aside from her unmistakable tone and playing style, Character has little in common with its siblings. For starters, for the first time she recorded alone in her home studio. The music on those earlier recordings reflected the outer world in various ways: the field recordings on Delay were those of airports; on Green and Grey the sounds of the natural world. Here, incorporated sounds reflect the solitary nature of the creative process: a single match lighting, the scratch of a pen writing on paper, a detuned autoharp; even the sound of wineglasses seems more like accidental movement in a cupboard than a celebratory clink. The theme on this album muses on the cycles of life and how little control the individual possesses." -- All Music Guide
