Jennifer Castle
Monarch Season
PoB-057
LP/CD/Digital
Worldwide digital release: Oct. 16, 2020
Worldwide physical release: Nov. 20, 2020
Jennifer Castle’s sixth full-length record, 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.)
Limited first-pressing deluxe LP edition includes a songbook of sheet music to every song, inner sleeve with lyrics, and high-res Bandcamp DL code.
Like last night’s dream you can’t remember … The melody seems called up by the cadence, the instrumentation feels like a reflection of the voice, and you can find yourself listening for those tiny lifts, the suspensions in the songs replacing the songs themselves. – Greil Marcus
No hyperbole, Jennifer Castle is a spectacular songwriter. Her singing carries the joy of life. – The FADER
Flickers between the broadly universal and the devastatingly personal… She effortlessly conveys the conflicting emotions that accompany loss. – Pitchfork
Ethereal, deeply poetic. – Associated Press
