Featuring glacial harmonies and crystal clear intonation, the effect of VOCES8 is nothing short of amazing. Since forming in the early ‘00s, the British a cappella octet has covered serious sonic ground, with single albums encompassing everything from contemporary pop to Renaissance polyphony. From 2015's Lux, “Ubi Caritas” comprises mercurial progressions and shimmering sound clusters, while Huw Watkins' piano accompaniment on “The Fruits of Silence” conjures serene raindrops that beautifully juxtapose with VOCES8's misty harmonies.
