When the songs were finished, she headed to Montreal to record with producer\/ engineer Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Leonard Cohen), drummer Liam O'Neill (Suuns), bassist Alexandra Levy (Ada Lea), and guitarist Sam Gleason (Tim Baker). The group tracked the album in 5 days, mostly live off the floor, seeking to capture the raw emotion of the songs. The result is Highs in the Minuses, a memoir in fragments. Here Cornfield fully embraces the role of narrator, moving from one vignette to another in a colourful collage. We see her at 21, heartbroken and lost, carrying a friend's 3-legged cat back to her apartment in a box; then as a teenager, playing a new song for a group of friends on a trampoline. She sings of a magical first date, an ex with a mean streak, two skateboarders gliding in a lakeside parking lot. The brutal honesty in her lyrics brings to mind writers like David Berman and Adrianne Lenker, while musically she conjures a Zuma- era Neil Young, leaping from crunchy guitar rock to piano ballads with effortless grace. Highs in the Minuses is Charlotte Cornfield's strongest offering to date, each song a gem in and of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Skateboarding by the Lake \/ Headlines \/ Pac- Man \/ 21 \/ Black Tattoo \/ Blame Myself \/ Out of the Country \/ Drunk For You \/ Partner in Crime \/ Modern Medicine \/ Destroy Me\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DOUBLE DOUBLE WHAMMY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41323440472220,"sku":"LPDDW081C","price":23.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_b7fcbd55-63a9-4cd9-8e1d-93407ff81f93.jpg?v=1641283084","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/charlotte-cornfield-highs-in-the-minuses-blue-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
