"I believe this is Shaula’s debut release and what a way to kick things of it is! Haze features seven gorgeous slices of beatless ambience with electronic and organic textures and layers coming right to the fore. From the very beginning you can tell exactly where Shaula’s coming from sound-wise with an airy and delicate soundscape leading you gently in before allowing you to float softly into a world of sheer beauty. Not content with just putting together drones though, Shaula provides some really lovely purist electronic moments as well that use a more overtly melodic touch to reach out to you. The flow is superb and the longer tracks are deeply hypnotic and, well, overall this is a splendid way to kick off 2010 for Under The Spire. A hearty, well produced and arranged album that leaves me very keen to hear more work from Shaula. Delicious."
