For her austere new solo album- Domestic Sphere Josephine Foster performs solely with her electric guitar and then subverts the usual range of her voice to embody other frequencies and sounds beyond the surface layer of the songs. She communes so completely with every sound on the record with the past and the future animals and insects and birds those so tenderly dead and those of us who are alive. Listening to the record is a transcendent experience. It's an exorcism one that exorcises you. - - Domestic Sphere produced by Foster and collaborator Daniel Blumberg is an altar cloth of songs stitched together as liturgical music for a restless homestead whose values insist simply that everything is music and that our daily life is a sacred innately creative practice. In such a world creaking door reveal natural orchestras with wailing cats in service of melodic collaborations with Tennessee songbirds Foster's world is an extra-sensory radio play in two acts where songs overlay structures like creeping vines. - - A seance by song Josephine channels sounds from her interior and exterior landscapes whether integrating field recordings reflecting daily life in a Spanish village and other moments in her life as a nomadic musician or as in one tender cameo the voice of her great-grandmother comes from the other side. These songs are vigils melodies sung intently to be set aflame and sung off with the wind. - - “Powerful and eccentric” Pitchfork - - “A dreamily unique talent” The Guardian
