Pulse is the fifth album from the Shetland-born singer-songwriter and musician Astrid Williamson. The album was produced by Leo Abrahams (a guitarist famed for his work with Brian Eno).
Reception
Pulse was judged by MusicOMH to be a "bold change in direction....pulled off extremely competently". The Scotsman newspaper suggested the "lilting conversational beauty of [the track] "Paperbacks" - up there with Joni Mitchell's best moments". Popmatters viewed it as "less a game-changer than a paradigm shift", while UNCUT magazine concluded it is "as beautiful as it is unsettling".
