Josienne Clarke releases Katie Cruel, a reimagining of the traditional folk song with two newly written verses aligning its themes of exile and endurance with the realities of an uncompromising artistic life. Built around electric guitar and recorders, the arrangement is spartan and resolute. The accompanying video finds Clarke as two figures on a windswept promontory — mourning black and ghostly white.

Josienne Clarke’s ‘Far From Nowhere’ is a giant leap of an album. Recorded in a remote Scottish cabin, the pared-back, analogue affair feels immediate and intimate, as if written on the spot. By exposing the DNA of her work, Clarke unlocks immense power, resulting in her “grandest effort to date” and the “best music of an already distinguished career.”
