Description
By popular demand, Hype Williams/Dean Blunt collaborator Joanne Robertson’s early side of slanted, detuned and enchanting lo-fi productions returns to vinyl in an expanded new edition via theeee untouchable Escho label. If you've been snagged by her stunning 'Blue Car' album for AD 93, or indeed her unforgettable turns on much of Dean Blunt's output this last decade, or into classic Throwing Muses, this will rule your world. Among the best in her cult class of contemporary singer-songwriters, Joanne Robertson has built her rep from the ground up thru more than 15 years working with everyone from David Cunningham (The Flying Lizards, General Strike), to Gnod’s Paddy Shine, who appears twice on this record, and a role in the mysterious Bo Khat Eternal Troof Family band - an early vehicle for Hype Williams’ Dean Blunt and Alina Astrova. ‘Wildflower’ is her 3rd solo session and now regarded a classic in her sparing catalogue that clearly bridges ’80s post-punk jangle, ‘90s indie scuzz, and its modern iterations in the likes of bar italia. However Robertson transcends with a singular blend of timeless, folk pop-intoned vocals, highly personalised (de)tuning systems and ascetic recording tekkerz that indelibly watermark her work and prickle the listener’s spine. A case in point for her uncanny hooks is ‘Heven’, with typically unadorned vocals set to open fret strums and devastating drone discord that seems to seep off the page, and which we could happily rinse and repeat for days, while Paddy Shine finely chimes with her sound on the naked room recording snapshots of ‘90s grunge residue in ‘The Motor’ and psych billow to ‘You Hear Me Go’. Practically anyway you turn, from the pharmaceutically faded ‘Late at Night’ to the shivering wheeze of ‘Dance With Me’ or motorik drone-pop of its title song, going like Stereolab recording in a Blackpool boarding room, or the £1 burger version of Mazzy Star-like steak in ‘There and Here’, hit the mark dead on, if you know what’s good.
