Undercurrent


Beskrivelse


Summary: On Sarah Jarosz's fourth album, Undercurrent, the impact of being a full-time artist living in New York City is palpable. A gifted instrumentalist, singularly expressive vocalist and songwriter of rare insight, Jarosz anchors her new record with a haunting quartet of songs written and performed solo 'Early Morning Light,' 'Everything to Hide,' 'Take Another Turn' and 'Jacqueline.' She expands her palate from the swampy defiance of 'House of Mercy' to the nostalgic 'Back of My Mind.' Undercurrent captures the process of personal evolution and discovery as well as the inspirational nature of change.

"Graduated from the New England Conservatory and relocated to New York, the 25-year-old brings a touch of maturity to Undercurrent, helped by an impeccable backing crew and co-writes with the likes of Aoife O'Donovan and the Milk Carton Kids' Joey Ryan ... Spaciously produced, it's a classy piece of modern Americana".

"Not only is Jarosz an observer, she also confidently sings that she can make the world better through her songs, and her evidence is overwhelming. She possesses a warm voice that drawls out the vowel sounds to stress the importance and emotional resonance of the stories she tells. The results mesmerize. By hanging on to the vowels, she creates a world thick with meaning. The atmospherics are rich; even when she just sings the mundane language of ordinary conversations, her words suggest much more is meant than is said".
