Josephine Foster and the Victor Herrero Band – Perlas

Description

Originally released in 2011, now re-issued on vinyl. Their follow up to the acclaimed ‘Anda Jaleo’. A document of Josephine Foster’s magical partnership with Victor Herrero breathing new life into timeless traditional melodies, drawing from the Spanish-folk traditions of Castile, the Basque, Santander and the Costa Brava. ‘Perlas’ is debonair, contemporary and redolent of that old seductive charge.” The Wire. Elemental themes of love bind the collection together, with a melancholy joy that casts a shadow of desire and loss. “The alt-folk fixture returns to more traditional material.” Pitchfork
