Eisenberg, Wendy: Wendy Eisenberg (oxblood coloured vinyl) LP

Wendy Eisenberg has spent the past decade as a fixture of independent music and an artist of inspired multiplicity. As a singer-songwriter, improviser,and virtuoso guitarist, the coordinates of their artistry are ever-shifting, from art-rock to jazz to blistering free improv and eloquent folk. After spending the past five years experimenting in different bands, genres, and creative challenges, and following a period of self-confrontation that they liken to a personal exorcism, Eisenberg has arrived at a milestone. The poetic and formally daring folk songs of "Wendy Eisenberg" comprise their most certain vision yet. Longing for the pastoral feel of their former home, Eisenberg gravitated towards the warm sounds of country and folk. On "Wendy Eisenberg", the artist creates their own paradigm with a tight-knit circle of longtime friends and collaborators, including bassist Trevor Dunn, drummer Ryan Sawyer, and co-producer Mari Rubio (more eaze), who handled pedal steel, synth, and string arrangements - recording often at Eisenberg's home and bringing a gorgeous ensemble texture to each note.
