Free Music Review: Defies All Expectations Again.
Hit: 4 Stars
Josephine Foster's previous album, the wonderful "Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You", was compared by many to Joanna Newsom's "The Milk-Eyed Mender" so anyone expecting a "Ys" like leap from obscurity into the widespread critical acclaim and comparative commercial success will have been somewhat 'thrown' by her decision to record an album of German folk balladry.
I bought this album having been completely bowled over by her previous record but it certainly isn't a case of 'more of the same'. Here, the gently crooning warble, and spare acoustic instrumentation, is countered and, occasionally, augmented by the dark gritty soloing and fuzzy chords of Brian Goodman's electric guitar.
It is an album of contrasts. The most gently presented song "Wehmut" is followed by the 11 minute 'Auf Einer Burg' whose growling raw of electric noise(brings to mind Sonic Youth) threatens to overpower the balance that exists on the rest of the album.
I would say that this is a very experimental record and while it is (very)unlikely to appeal everyone, it does contain passages of great beauty and power, so if you are looking for something truly, truly different, and any of the above piques your interest, all I can say is, give it a try.
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Poster
Over the course of just a few years, Foster has captivated audiences and critics alike through a magnetic patchwork of recordings ranging from broken spirited balladry ("Born Heller") to fiery psych rock gestalt ("All The Leaves Are Gone") to the voice of an outsider folk siren ("Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead You"). The one constant is the utterly overwhelming strength and seductive unease of her voice and the bravery of an iconoclastic spirit. A deeply absorbing, magical reconstruction of 19th century German art songs that float in a wash of blissed voice and electric guitar in an almost dreamlike fashion through a salon of her own invention. She makes a case for German as one of the previously unknown romance languages.Alternative Rock Music CDs
