- Dani Toral created the visual elements for the upcoming album, including a set of ceramic whistles.
claire rousay has signed to American Dreams Records for her latest album, a softer focus.
The Texas-based experimental musician has built up a following via a prolific string of releases employing percussion, ASMR and other non-conventional recording methods. In 2020, she put out nine full-length albums and ten additional singles, 12-inches and EPs. Her latest record, however, stands out due to its entirely melodic focus, at times bordering on pop.
"All the tracks on this album started as field recordings," Rousay said. "On 'Discrete (The Market)' the listener gets to explore my trip to the farmers market in San Antonio, TX. the trip was cut short by a thunderstorm. Although she was not with me, Lia Kohl's cello playing fits right into the market/storm."
Rousay's longtime friend, the painter and ceramicist Dani Toral, created the artwork and visual narrative for the album, including ceramic whistles that accompany a special vinyl edition of a softer focus.
