Elizabeth Baker: Quadrivium CL didn’t get to look around the classical scene much in 2018, but we’re blaming that on Elizabeth Baker, an artist who landed on last year’s best of list before reappearing here thanks to her challenging 13-track 2018 release, Quadrivium, which is is one of those dense, metamorphic works that peels back layers of the psyche with repeated listens. At nearly two hours long, it is not for the Spotify Singles generation, and it’s a mindfuck that left us exhausted in the best way.
