"I'm going to sing you to sleep."
next up we have an utterly enchanting et lush, gothic-tinged, chamber-folk elegy Necromancy. from Edmonton-based indie folk/rock songstress Jessica Jalbert off her winsome debut album "Loyola" (2011).
Necromancy would certainly fit in nicely to an early David Lynch film like "Blue Velvet", Jalbert deftly captures that murky, inbetween zone where dark et light intersect, one feels the sombre weight of darkness et angst, but also a deep sense of the immense beauty et lightness that the world contains.
"Graveyards are popping up everywhere,
Smell of bodies in the air."
i find myself mesmerized by the inky et evocative image that adorns the cover for "Loyola", the linking/clasping gesture/pose of the hands is very suggestive. it almost feels like a detail taken from an old obscure Danish silent film, or perhaps conjures up a mysterious sign language.
MP3: Necromancy
et here's another deliciously warm et sultry, galloping, fuzzed-out, 70s-steeped, rock single from the album;
"And forever, and forever, and forever and forever ..."
MP3: Paris Green
oh, you might also appreciate the delightful new single from the album too!
MP3: Lake of a Lake
