Mississippi Says: "Portland guitar
virtuoso Marisa Anderson is back with a new set of home recorded
instrumentals. This time around we find Marisa exploring structures more
based on the Appalachian folk tradition. The bluesy cadences of
Marisa's other Mississippi release -- Golden Hour -- are still
there but more in an emotional sense than a structural. It's rare to
find a record that has just one instrument with no vocals that can
achieve real emotional communication -- but here 'tis. Marisa
thoughtfully composed and recorded this LP over the course of the last
two years. It was worth the wait. A contemporary record that can hold
its own against the various re-issued folk music on our label."
This is a dreamy American Primitive record with lots of little melodies running through it that you'll recognize if you spend a lot of time with '20s and '30s music. But she gets away from the usual tropes just as much as she makes good use of them. Good stuff!
This one is Brand New in a poly bag.
