Nighttime birds and morning stars

"After first gaining attention for representational acoustic beauties, the guitarist digs deeper into abstraction, until the physical trappings of her instrument largely melt away".

"Album pick" - "Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars breaks new ground for Henson, building tracks from improvisation on an electric guitar with standard tuning, both firsts for her. She also ventured into the realm of synthesized sound by layering samples and digitally manipulated loops, nearly all of which originated from the electric guitar (there is one track with synthesizer and one with manipulated 12-string on the record). Working in these parameters, she still draws inspiration from the natural world and retains the warmth, hints of wistful psychedelia, and patient attention to detail that marked her prior work ... Taken together, Nighttime Birds and Morning Stars almost functions as a tone poem and is nearly as beautiful and elegant as its thematic inspirations".
