New Jessica Pratt album

[WhoMe]

Every now and then for the last five years the thought 'hey, I wonder if Jessica Pratt is gonna release anything soon/ever again?' has popped into my mind. Well, wonder no more. The single has her typical recorded-in-1965, ethereal forest pixie quality to it, the one big shift being the use of actual drums. Exciting!

Jessica Pratt - Here in the Pitch

[jamiefairlie]

Yay! I'll be getting me some if that action (Prattion)!

I like her stuff a lot.

[badaids]

Thanks for signposting I'm getting it NOW.

edit - i just pre-ordered it.  I'd probably have missed out if not for this thread so thanks again.  I have forbidden myself from buying new vinyl but there are a few artists I can make an exception for.

[The Mollusk]

Fuck yes I love this woman's music

Nice, same here. Just noticed Norman Records has an 'Oxblood' colour version which doesn't seem to be on bandcamp, very metal.

Exactly where I went.  I'm not fussed which one I get; I had to email them to add it as they've has a big order of line knocking round for 6 months waiting for one record.

There was one version that said it was « indies only » does that mean the likes of HMV or Virgin or whoever can't  sell it?

Definitely like the (slightly) different sound of the new song. Been too long since the last album, so expecting great things of this one.

[Crabwalk]

It's been a long wait, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. She's subtly added more shades with each release and judging from 'Life Is' that pattern will continue. Brian Wilson definitely haunting that one.

It feels unfair to expect another record on a par with her first three, which is one of the finest runs of any musician this century for me. Just one of those artists suffused with a rare and unfathomable magic - the raw ingredients have been used a million times before but what she does is so singular and absorbing.

If anyone's stumbling in here blind, here are my picks from each album so far.

Ah fuckin sweet. I saw her last time round at EartH but had a splitting headache that ruined it. Will try and get to this

I saw her myself a few years back in another church in Hackney. She sounded lovely but my view was entirely obscured by a huge pillar and you could constantly hear people cracking tinnies open. A church bar selling tinnies ffs! Clueless in the ways of curating ambiance.

Last I checked UC only sells hot drinks in mugs so little chance of having the vibe squashed there. Amazing venue as well.

Brian Wilson definitely haunting that one.

No question. Stealing from the best, and bless her for it...

[Crabwalk]

Ha! My subconscious took me half the way there!

[non capisco]

Fallen hard for her stuff in the last couple of days. She's at Primavera and I'm really hoping she's in the indoor auditorium, that'd be perfect.

[jamiefairlie]

Saw kristin hersh in an old church in Glasgow in the 90s around the time of her solo debut. It was perfect and JP would work well in that situation too. For me this kind of music is like a modern hymnal  equivalent.

Thank you, I just bought a couple despite the notification system doing no notifiying

[badaids]

The new single is brilliant, can't stop listening to it.  A small part of me tells me it is derivative and wearing its influences on its sleeve, but who cares bloody hell it's great.  Cannot wait for the album.

[Butchers Blind]

Got tickets for the Chapel gig.

[Crabwalk]

New song 'World on a String' just fluttered in:

That is one cult I would sign up for in a heartbeat.

[WhoMe]

Shit man I'm trying to avoid listening to anything (else aside for Life Is) until the album turns up, this is cruel.

[WhoMe]

Jessica has a 4 show residency on NTS radio, once a month from March. Haven't listened yet but certainty will.
