Taken from “Monarch Season”, out Oct. 16, 2020 (digital) and Nov. 20 (LP/CD) on Paradise of Bachelors / Idée Fixe.
Jennifer Castle’s sixth full-length album, the moon-suffused Monarch Season—an album as delicate and diaphanous as its namesake butterfly—stands, in a literal sense, as her first proper “solo” album, performed alone in her coastal kitchen, windows open to the insects and the wind and the reflection of the moon on Lake Erie, entirely without human accompaniment (though a chorus of crickets provides rich interstitial support throughout.)
