{"product_id":"josephine-foster-no-harm-done","title":"Josephine Foster - No Harm Done","description":"\u003cp\u003e2020 album from Colorado’s freewheelin’ melodist \u003cstrong\u003eJosephine Foster\u003c\/strong\u003e. Revolving between her adopted Spain and her native American West, Josephine was stationed this spring in Nashville with maverick guitarist and comrade-in-arms \u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Schneider\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result: \u003cem\u003eNo Harm Done\u003c\/em\u003e, a spacious and enveloping love letter of an album. Eight new slow-burning songs branch forth from idiosyncratic country folk blues, sung with sibylline wit and a hint of the absurd, awash in sensually anachronic lyricism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Wheel of Fortune\u003c\/em\u003e, nearly a title track by virtue of its refrain: \"No harm will come\/if there's no harm done\", are words of a homebound wanderer finding refuge in healing stillness with her beloved, having \"time to kill\" in the midst of \"hard times to feel at home\". All delivered with calm sagacity upon the pedestal of Mr. Schneider's pedal steel and underscored by a knowing trebled chorus in Foster's lower register. Going nowhere never felt like so righteous of a destination before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDevotion in all its permutations, spiritual to carnal, are seamlessly explored. In \u003cem\u003eConjugal Bliss\u003c\/em\u003e, overtones of the 12-string and autoharp gently interplay, sounding like some unearthed \u003cstrong\u003eCarter Family\u003c\/strong\u003e wedding hymn (it bears the subversive subtitle \u003cem\u003e69\u003c\/em\u003e) while \u003cem\u003eHow come, Honeycomb?\u003c\/em\u003e bounces low in the hips like a sultry old music hall number à la \u003cstrong\u003eHarry Nilsson\u003c\/strong\u003e. The obliquely sapphic \u003cem\u003eLeonine\u003c\/em\u003e, it's unquiet harp scaling right out of ancient Lesbos, dreams of a kingless land; in \u003cem\u003eSure Am Devilish\u003c\/em\u003e, a stargazer humbly confesses to a lowercase lord. \u003cem\u003eOld Saw\u003c\/em\u003e, the mesmeric album closer, is a medium's petition to cross the threshold and merge with the holy spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJosephine's enigmatic voice captured once more by frequent co-producer \u003cstrong\u003eAndrija Tokic\u003c\/strong\u003e in his analog Bomb Shelter studio, where layers of her guitar, piano, organ entwine with Schneider's 12-string, pedal steel and electric bass to rouse a spectral yet full blooded band. The ensuing cycle of songs pulse and glow within the ruins and deep fundamental roots of American song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Remarkable, ghostly music” — \u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FIRE RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl LP","offer_id":58766650442073,"sku":"SDZ-49772","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58766650474841,"sku":"SDZ-49773","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Josephine-Foster-No-Harm-Done-RENDER-1024x725.jpg?v=1785846702","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/josephine-foster-no-harm-done","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
