Suzanne Perry, formerly of ethereal darlings Love Spirals Downward, returns at the helm of Melodyguild.   Aitu isn’t too far afield from Perry’s earlier work: “Panamint” builds a lush, wavering song from acoustic guitar strums and a crescendo of indie rock guitars and drumming; “Accomplice” shimmers in a downtrodden, Sundays-esque way; “Flicker” marries deep bass rumblings to a melancholy atmosphere.  Melodyguild it at its best on the epic-length “Un Parellel,” a song that manages to build from dying embers back into a full blaze.   The common thread throughout the EP is, of course, Perry’s vocals, which are in fine form throughout.  Aitu is definitely worth the wait for fans of Love Spirals Downward, even if it only whets the appetite for more.
