She communes so completely with every sound on the record, with the past and the future, animals and insects and birds, those so tenderly dead, and those of us who are alive. Listening to the record is a transcendent experience. It's an exorcism, one that exorcises you.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDomestic Sphere, produced by Foster and collaborator Daniel Blumberg, is an altar cloth of songs stitched together as liturgical music for a restless homestead, whose values insist simply that everything is music and that our daily life is a sacred, innately creative practice. In such a world creaking door reveal natural orchestras with wailing cats in service of melodic collaborations with Tennessee songbirds, Foster's world is an extra-sensory radio play in two acts, where songs overlay structures like creeping vines.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA seance by song, Josephine channels sounds from her interior and exterior landscapes, whether integrating field recordings reflecting daily life in a Spanish village and other moments in her life as a nomadic musician, or, as in one tender cameo, the voice of her great-grandmother comes from the other side. These songs are vigils, melodies sung intently, to be set aflame and sung off with the wind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Powerful and eccentric” - Pitchfork\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A dreamily unique talent” - The Guardian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack List:\u003cbr\u003eSide One \u003cbr\u003eA1 Entrance\u003cbr\u003eA2 Pendulum\u003cbr\u003eA3 Dawn of Time\u003cbr\u003eA4 Burnt Offering\u003cbr\u003eA5 Entr'acte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide Two\u003cbr\u003eB1 Gentlemen \u0026amp; Ladies\u003cbr\u003eB2 Shrine Excerpt\u003cbr\u003eB3 Birthday Song for the Dead\u003cbr\u003eB4 Reminiscence\u003cbr\u003eB5 Haunted House\u003cbr\u003eB6 Sanctuary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42305439006876,"sku":"FIRELP684","price":23.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/unnamed_1_4dd5d220-a28f-46f8-9b41-56e72e74b7fe.jpg?v=1674745484","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/josephine-foster-domestic-sphere-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
