Josephine Foster - All The Leaves Are Gone

March 13, 2006


it took me a little (little little) while to get past the indy-famous people (whom i refuse to mention) that have recommended this album in interviews and such, but i'm very glad i got past it. i think technically (ha!) this would get classified as psych-folk or freak-folk or something like that, but its really just awesome. the music is sort of psych-rock-ish, but no, not the long droning psych-rock i talk so much about... its more jefferson airplane or non-masturbatory-solo jimi hendrix, i guess. i could be wrong, though, because the music (to my ears) always ends up playing the role of a bed for ms.foster's awesome voice. ahhhh... her voice..... her voice is almost as different from other people's voices as bjork's voice is. (dont worry, bjork haters, it doesn't actually sound like bjork) it does make you think that she might be as insane as bjork, though, while still sounding nice. and the way it works with the songs! oh! its great! when the song gets energetic, so does her voice. it actually sort of makes me think of an airplane or a bird or something flying around. i can't explain how or why i think that, but maybe you'll see. (oh, and it doesn't actually sound like an aeroplane, it just makes me think of one.)
