Wilson, Cassandra – New Moon Daughter

NEW VINYL LP ON PURE PLEASURE RECORDS 2015

2 x 180 GRAM VINYL

This is no easy listen…Sparse, complex, often brooding arrangements coupled with Cassandra Wilson’s deep, earthy voice and complicated phrasing demand your attention. But…give this album the listening time and space it deserves and you will certainly reap the rewards. Unusual, highly atmospheric tracks that combine superb singing and marvellously ‘distant’ musical backings to weave real magic.
Cassandra Wilson’s own excellent, jazz tinged compositions sit alongside a stunning set of ingenious covers from a highly diverse spectrum of composers. “Last Train To Clarksville” is transformed from a catchy pop song into a stripped-down and genuinely effective jazz vocal work-out. “Harvest Moon” slows down Neil Young’s already wistful ballad to an almost painful level and, in so doing, takes it to an even higher level of gentle reflection.
