Marisa Anderson created the music for Jeff Rutherford’s sepia-toned ‘A Perfect Day For Caribou’ (2022), a film about an estranged father and son who spend the day ambling around a cemetery, wandering the wilderness, searching for family, and stumbling through disharmony and heartache.
Rutherford’s open vistas and isolating landscape provide a heady blend for Marisa Anderson to explore in her improvisations on piano and guitar. Her music always conjures such landscapes in my mind, and on tracks like the steel stretching Homestead she is totally immersed in Jeff Rutherford’s deep cinematic imagery.
Jim White and Marisa recently announced their elemental new album Swallowtail – More here.
