JOSEPHINE FOSTER (US/Spa, Fire records)
Äntligen är Josephine Foster tillbaka! Senast hon spelade i stan var 2009 på Göteborgs Konshall.

The wonderful singer-songwriter Josephine Foster breathes new life into this old world: her many albums are celebrations of myth making, with ancient and modern images, themes, incidents and characters coursing through the songs beautiful realised narratives.
Josephine Foster returns with her new album ‘I’m A Dreamer’. Following from the success of her previous critically acclaimed album ‘Blood Rushing’, which toured to great success.
Dreamers have dreamt for as long as domes have fallen, bobbing musical swells from Stephen Foster to the Everlys. Now here comes that beautiful dreamer Josephine and, sugarpie, she’s not the same. She has donned her magenta vestiments, dreaming back, with mossy verses that haunt like a name never called. It’s not just Jo and her shadow, though, this time around-she’s got a gaggle of Nashville cats on hand to coax spidery cathedrals from these campfire jams. Folks will want to call this her Harvest-with its harp and pedal steel, its double bass and cascading piano. And it’s true, I’m a Dreamer beckons with a gentle hand, each note clear and crisp so that one feels each grain. Amid such delicate charms, however, lurk muses with rotting flesh, ugly ducklings and Djuna Barnes, wooden floors upon which no babies will be rocked. Wily is the heart that wanders filled with duende and desire, that rides the thigh like a parlor guitar when a strap just isn’t handy. These are songs comfortably at home in salon or saloon, dreams deep enough to bury your dread–as sorrowful, as sexy, as stirring a set of songs as anybody’s dreamt up in ages.

“It’s a pretty much perfect set, a quiet masterclass in songwriting with melodies that find the sweet spot in unexpected places and a self-possessed beauty that only grows with every listen – 5*- Time Out 5*s on I’m A Dreamer
“Her most orthodox album, perhaps, and by some distance her best.” Uncut on I’m A Dreamer
“As she slides across the notes she hits an ethereal sweetness at the top of her range…” The Wire on I’m A Dreamer
“Her gainly vibrato and fireside intimacy place her in the company of illustrious dames of Americana such as Buffy Sainte-Marie and composer Ruth Crawford Seeger. ‘She Sweeps With Many Coloured Brooms’ is pure Another Side Of Bob Dylan, harmonica interludes and all” – Rob Young/Uncut on Graphic As A Star

PIKELET (AUS)
Evelyn Morris bildade experimentella Pikelet 2007 och har släppt tre fullängdsalbum, som alla har fått bra kritik. Piklet började som experimentell folkmusik och har utvecklats genom många musikaliska områden under åren. För närvarande är musiken uppbyggd kring experimenterande med synth, udda rytmer och ljud, alla med ett kärnmelodisk och harmonisk fokus. Evelyn har också haft många samarbeten med artister och grupper som The Boredoms, på deras Boadrum 10/10/10. Hon har gjort ljudspår för kortfilmer, konstinstallationer och dansföreställningar. Som studiomusiker har Evelyn följt många artister som Ariel Pink, Grand Salvo, Laura Jean och Frida Hyvönen. 2014 tilldelades Evelyn The Age Music Victoria pris för bästa experimentella / avant garde act. Nyligen startade Evelyn LISTEN, i en gemenskap ansträngning att skapa samtal och dokumentera historien kring kvinnors deltagande i musik i Australien. Detta projekt har skapat stora förändringar inom musik områden i Melbourne och fortsätter att växa och påverka hur musik produceras i Australien.

VICTOR HERRERO (ESP, Ecstatic Peace )
Victor är tillbaka! Ni kanske minns hans makalösa spelning som förband till Baby Dee på Oceanen för 2 år sen?

"Is it too much to say that Victor Herrero reminds me of the greatest? All the evidence compels me to say that something like that would be an understatement. Or maybe best not to say everything. The song El Caballo makes you think of Bert Jansch and Nick Drake; in Avellaneda you feel the breath of Leonard Cohen walking wise amongst poplars and cypresses; Constantina attacks you between chords and brings to mind the memory of the great Andrés Segovia; and with Columbina you can hear the great Amancio Prada himself. But Victor has his own voice. That which dazzled Father Laurentino. That at last, after so many choirs and escolanías, offers itself bravely.....
Herrero, himself, has grown. His songs are new brave, smart, both precious and unprecedented in their intimate variety of rhythms, melodies and resources. And his poetry which springs from the mysterious crystalline depths of the heart."
