christina carter / josephine foster


In the words of  Christina Carter: "It is a sixty plus minute song, and it is definitely a song, not a piece. It is like taking a six-minute song and stretching it out for an hour with compositional coherence intact. In other words, it isn’t like a six-minute song with a 54-minute jam stuck on the end." The low E string thrumbs for the whole 60 minutes like a heartbeat. It's like dipping into someone else's memory for an hour. It's a whole other world. One of America's greatest living artists. Hey America, remember art?" amoeba

"Christina Carter in full-on tonal ascension mode"

entrevista con christina



"A story within a story, Blood Rushing is a glimpse into the world of Blushing, a heteronym of the artist Josephine Foster. A rock-ballet chanté, the music is set to a Pueblo drum's metapulsing Pan-American heartbeat. ...Josephine's voice is not metaphoric. Nor is it a spell. Blood Rushing is as native as my flesh and yours." Natasha Pradhan


madre mía, qué dos discos. blood rushing es un clásico lleno de canciones clásicas, el mejor disco del año, de cualquier año, es difícil encontrar canciones tan bonitas como 'waterfall', 'blood rushing' y 'o stars'. y el de christina carter tiene el buen gusto de siempre y unas melodías que, mmmm, la hace simplemente irresestible. 'trickster who is like god' es un larguísimo mantra con cambios de melodía y la voz inmaculada y dulce de christina que suena como una caricia, que crece y decrece y trasmite una agradable sensación de bienestar flotante, una burbuja de calma y placidez,... todo lo que estamos acostumbrados a recibir de una mujer irrepetible que vive dentro de sí misma, única en su especie, que nunca decepciona, 'a whole other world'

paz lenchantin

"In 2006 Paz Lenchantin came out with her second solo release “Songs for Luci” which is dedicated to her brother Luciano Lenchantin who sadly passed away in 2003.
Recorded in Louisville, Kentucky “Songs for Luci” is a very short, but sweet album clocking in at 18 minutes and 4 seconds and has a lot to offer the listener in its short playtime. “Songs for Luci” is a very touching album. Paz does a great job in creating a very pleasant atmosphere filled with her vocal harmonies and layers of instrumental melodies. Paz said so herself on her website. “This album is not for everyone but is available only here for anyone.” This album will only be available on Paz Lenchantin’s website until the beginning of March." James McDermott
"...The soaring and beautiful folk melodies on Songs for Luci contain some of the best female vocals I have heard from the collective folk movement." naturalismo
un disco bonito de verdad...hace muy poco que lo descubrí pero desde ayer lo tengo en repeat. canciones que con el título ya lo dicen todo: "Montana Train" y "Kentucky Hymn", como dusty in memphis, tropical malady o field recordings. hay violines, un banjo, fingerpicking, un bucle precioso llamado "365" y la voz de Paz. dura muy poquito, apenas veinte minutos
