Of all the artists that emerged from the freak folk/New Weird America boom of the early noughties, Josephine Foster is one of the most enduring, and certainly one of the most interesting. On her new album Adormidera, she and Víctor Herrero have created, through a kind of alchemy, an artefact that seems to grow more beautiful with every listen.

For her new album Domestic Sphere, Josephine Foster performs solely with her electric guitar; watch the accompanying video for her lead single, Pendulum. “These songs are vigils, melodies sung intently, to be set aflame and sung off with the wind.”

Josephine Foster’s new album “Godmother” – part dream pop, part futuristic psych-folk – finds her looking towards new horizons as she marries a myriad of previous musical escapades with electronic experiments. Listen to lead single ‘Guardian Angel’.

An album to savour and immerse in rather than seeking out immediate pleasures, at one point she sings “I’ll never be in season, I’m forever ripinin’”; a heady fruit indeed.

Josephine Foster announces surprise album ‘No Harm Done’. Described as a spacious and enveloping love letter of an album, it is out today on Fire Records.

Thomas shares his Top 10 Albums of 2016 including Yorkston/Thorne/Khan, Josephine Foster, A Dyjecinski, Richard Moult, Fred Thomas, Seamus Cater, Rusalnaia, The Burning Hell, Lady Maisery & The Furrow Collective.

Mendrugo is a beautiful collaboration between musicians from different cultures who share a deep love for their respective musical traditions and an irreverent, and irresistible, sense of fun. There should be more records made like this.

Listen to ‘Emboniga’ by Mendrugo, a trio led by the infamous Hermanos Herrero – Víctor & José Luis – along with Josephine Foster. A song about the rural tradition of muck splattering….a goat deterrent used in olive groves.

The songs on ‘No More Lamps in the Morning’ are, for all their apparent restraint, some of the most compelling and haunting of Josephine Foster’s career.

Often tribute albums can be overly reverent or lacking in musical coherence. Remembering Mountains successfully avoids both of these pitfalls. In fact, the only disappointing thing about these songs is that we will never get to hear Karen Dalton singing them herself.

Josephine Foster has unveiled a new video for ‘Pretty Please’, a track taken from her critically acclaimed 2013 release ‘I’m a Dreamer‘ which was described as her Harvest album.

To mark the release of Josephine Foster’s highly anticipated new release ‘I’m a Dreamer’ you can download a free track from the album: Blue Roses.
