JOLIE HOLLAND ESCONDIDA NEW LP

Description: Additional Information from InnerSleeve Product Description Personnel: Jolie Holland (vocals, guitar, ukelele, piano); Brian Miller (acoustic & electric guitars, background vocals); Keith Cory (banjo, mandolin, bass); Paul Scriver (soprano saxophone); Ara Cory (trumpet); Dave Mihaly (marimba, drums, background vocals); Enzo Garcia (saw). Recorded at In The Pocket, Forestville, California. With ESCONDIDA, singer/songwriter Jolie Holland has crafted a truly remarkable record. Spectral, rootsy, and evocative, these 12 tunes--which touch on blues, country, folk, and swing--reflect the precision of a new traditionalist, but bear a creative twist that keeps the whole from sounding like mere revival. Holland doesn't fit comfortably into any categories; her fusion of styles is made unique by her spare arrangements, creative instrumentation (the record features ukulele, marimba, musical saw, and soprano saxophone), and--most notably--her distinctive voice and loose, conversational phrasing. The opener, "Sascha," a narrative about a chance romance sung with superb melodic flair over an easy swing progression, typifies Holland's musical aesthetic. The gorgeous "Black Stars," one of the finest tracks on ESCONDIDA, takes on a spooky, dreamy atmosphere with its mesmerizing vocal line. Holland shifts gears in the countrified gospel of "Goodbye California," the desperate ballad "Do You?," and the surreal "Darlin Ukelele." As a lyricist, Holland also impresses, weaving striking images and blues narratives together with apparent ease. On this album, Holland presents a collection of beautiful, soulful, Americana-tinged songs that are singular, strangely familiar, and undeniably good.
