The Canadian composer’s latest album marks a subtle but significant shift in her music making. (…) Gave in Rest marks Sarah Davachi’s most extensive foray into the hands-on, real-time realm of studio recording, where the sound and even the vibe of the room are intrinsic to what gets caught on tape. (…) A tentative right-hand melody paces up and down the scale, pulling against the root note; pulsing overtones throb and relax as Davachi’s chords shift between tension and resolution. It is meditative, searching, but also peaceful the sound of solitude and solace. It’s one of the simplest things Davachi has ever written, and also among the most powerful. — Pitchfork
