Yeah, it's really wonderful in an understated way.

The openness of her song structures on it and her sensitivity to silence and negative space remind me a little of the last Grouper album (as per schlump's comparison upthread), but of course she's been exploring this sound for considerably longer.

I saw her perform earlier this year. She played four or five songs relatively straight, by herself. Then she invited a guy up who played keyboards and they basically just droned for 30 minutes and it was phenomenal.

yeah i saw the same kinda show, once, w/pajo on drums; she'd throw old film canisters turned into rattles out into the crowd, so there was this real chain-clanging panoramic percussion thing on top of everything
& i don't think there's really a stylistic overlap sufficient enough to make her senior to grouper's junior. they used to share a studio in oregon i think.

And she apparently has a new solo album out! She seems to fly so completely under the radar. Which is a shame, because she might be among like my top five currently performing musicians.

New album is nice though I need to spend some more time with it.
Earlier this month I went back and listened to all of her solo albums. I realize why I stopped paying attention to her early on - her first couple records just sort of sound like a softer, unplugged version of that mathy/noodly Louisville sound she helped usher in with her previous bands. But around her third or fourth album she moved into something a lot more interesting and relaxed.

New album, “Yoake” - on first listen but so far very good ambient guitar stuff.

I really liked this when it came out and listened to it a lot for a couple of weeks, then forgot about it. Returning to it today and it's still really beautiful.
