Character is the fourth full-length album by Canadian cellist Julia Kent, released on The Leaf Label on 4 March 2013.
The Skinny wrote that the album "has a pronounced transportive power, its affecting serenity capable of sparking the same kind of meditative introspection in the listener as that which reportedly drove its creation", but added that "after a while, the textures blur and the willing sense of absorption fades into distraction, with tracks too similar in sound for all to possess their own distinct tenor.
[2] The Headphone Commute wrote "The soundscape of Character is minor in chord progression, major in cinematic undertones, and neutral in acceptance of things as they are.
There is a certain meditative aspect to the music, which at times rejects its nature and picks up in pace, only to stop chasing, catching its breath, and subsiding again.
But it is here that she speaks most poignantly of loneliness, fear, desire, life's richness, and more -- by creating a listening experience of nearly cavernous depth and poetic beauty".
