AVANT-FOLK
After two recordings of Spanish folk songs with her partner Victor Herrero and his band, Josephine Foster returns to songwriting for Blood Rushing, her third offering for Fire Records. According to the artist, this recording is a ballet chante (sung ballet), a story within a story, about a heteronym she created for herself called "Blushing." (The Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa had three of these unique identities, and he wrote from their perspective styles all the time.) While the concept is intriguing, it’s the songs and music that will matter to most listeners. Foster pulls one of her magic acts here, combining a range of songs and styles that shouldn’t work together, but in that magnificent voice of hers, are seamless.
