Jennifer Castle - Angels of Death - New Vinyl Lp 2018 Paradise of Bachelors Pressing with Download - Indie Folk

Street Date: 5/18/18

A sublime meditation on mortality and memory, ghosts and grief, Angels of Death casts a series of spells against forgetting and finality, in the form of mystic-minimalist country-soul torch songs about writing, time travel, and spectral visitations. Castle wrote and recorded this breathtaking follow-up to the acclaimed Pink City (2014) in a 19th century church near the shores of Lake Erie, where her family also lived and experienced a constellation of losses that inhabit these bruised musings. "Castle reaches a pitch of mystical transport so gorgeously ethereal she seems about to drift off into lands that don’t appear on any map." - Greil Marcus, The Believer "Castle's music is not so much of the earth as floating above it, untethered to the natural order of time and space. Her songs live in that gray area where observation mutates into rumination, and where the physical world dissolves into psychic terrain." - Pitchfork"Ravishing, soulful ... stands comparison with the best of Judee Sill and Joanna Newsom." - Uncut
