Josephine Foster’s stunning collaboration with Jason Ajemian.

Back on vinyl for the first time in over 16 years, this special edition features liner notes from former Chicago reader journalist Peter Margasak and new artwork. A “remarkable… terrifyingly beautiful nightmare” (Pitchfork ★★★★) of new folk, circa 2004.

A minimal serenade for austere times; an off-kilter romance of voice and instrument compared to the brevity of early Bjork, featuring Foster’s fragile, hushed vocal, straight from old weird America, brought to life by way of Ajemian’s bowed bass and effects, with a nod to the traditional English folk of yore in its construction.

“Arrestingly bare.” Tiny Mix Tapes
