Post Description

Acoustic, Bob Dylan, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, singer-songwriter Cambridge


Asking listeners to join you on a two-hour, 39-track listen over six sides of vinyl is a hell of a thing, but Cambridge-based singer-songwriter Polly Paulusma hopes you will.

With each track also prefaced by an accompanying poem or spoken explanation - recorded in churches, caves, quarries and elsewhere with all the attendant ambient sound - Wildfires is quite the journey.

Guided in full collaboration with producer Ethan Johns, Paulusma's songs reflect on love, for those we share entire lives with, brief liaisons, people we lose or even long departed artists we can still connect with through their music. Double bass, piano and drums accompany the ride as it undulates through the singer's emotional exploration, and even at such length it's easy to sit right alongside her. Wildfires is a marvel of subtly nuanced longform art in a world perma-geared towards instant gratification.
