Jennifer Castle’s Camelot is a kind of jousting match between religion and mystic thought and secular, pragmatic humanism. It’s rare for an album of such intellectual depth to be so accessible, but throughout, Castle imbues her songs with wit, candour and melodic charm.
Jennifer Castle announces her new album Camelot and shares her new single and video, “Lucky #8”, an irrepressible ode to dancing as a bulwark against the “tidal pools of pain” and the “theory of collapse.”
Jennifer Castle’s “Monarch Season” heralds a passage of time, a change of seasons, yet inside the human heart, questions still remain. There is beauty in continuing to look for answers.
Castle has long had a fascination with the notion of death and transformation, here, inspired by Joan Didion’s book about grieving – On Grim Reaper, she talks of how her songs hold “the colours of my life.” They are iridescent.
