Foster, on nylon string guitar, and husband \u003cstrong\u003eVictor Herrero\u003c\/strong\u003e, accompanying on Portuguese guitar, together weave intimate readings of songs spanning Foster's songwriting career including selections from recent albums \u003cem\u003eThis Coming Gladness\u003c\/em\u003e (2008) and \u003cem\u003eI'm a Dreamer\u003c\/em\u003e (2013) and back to \u003cem\u003eBorn Heller\u003c\/em\u003e (2004).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoster's new route is a free, chromatic music, a tuneful montana of mind--an expansive harmonic space dominated by Rif mountain on the horizon. As highwater as the music is, as broad the stylistic palette of the musicians, the music really exists in service of the lyrics. Two of the songs on \u003cem\u003eNo More Lamps In the Morning\u003c\/em\u003e are poems by \u003cstrong\u003eRu\u003c\/strong\u003edyard Kipling and James Joyce given musical settings by Foster. The rest arguably are musical settings of her own poems strengthened in a fiery crucible of guitars (and on 2 tracks \u003cstrong\u003eGyða Valtýsdóttir\u003c\/strong\u003e's cello) in which dissonant notes bend and quaver as wirefork embers, dying without affecting the glowing tonal fire which unites contrary forces in a Moroccan speakeasy. She and Herrero have performed, for an audience of burros, concerts of Federico Garcia Lorca poems set to music. A music of wandering and a music of roots. An impermanent tradition passed down for generations. Recorded live to tape by Henry Hirsch and Patrick Higgins at Future-Past Studios, Hudson, NY, in February 2014, the record was mixed by Patrick Higgins. \u003cem\u003eNo More Lamps In The Morning\u003c\/em\u003e features Victor Herrero on Portuguese guitar and Gyða Valtýsdóttir on cello (tracks 4 and 6).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“She effortlessly dissolves barriers between herself and her fellow musicians, between music and listener, between language and expression\" - \u003cstrong\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FIRE RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl LP","offer_id":58634310779225,"sku":"SDZ-49057","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58634310844761,"sku":"SDZ-49058","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/CAR_20260720_1207_112621_337_p_Josephine_Foster_-_No_More_Lamps_in_the_Morning_16_016.jpg?v=1784557397","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/josephine-foster-no-more-lamps-in-the-morning","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
