Richard Gürtler - Intensely elegiac, sonorously engulfing, intimately contemplative and intriguingly enigmatic aural and visual gemstone...

Beautiful and inspiring. Jenny's voice and instruments fit so well with Peter's ambient excellence. Found this by chance and already love it. No favorite song, they all have unique touch.

Another newie on Sirenwire. This time by Empty Vessel Music which is Jennifer Jo , who is a painter and musician. She's a successful pet portrait artist which is a job I've never really thought of people doing before but I guess it's something that some people out there must want. Makes me wish I had a lizard so I could post it to her and get her to draw it. Lizards aside this is her musical project which is a folky affair with accordions, pianos, and a variety of stringed things. Then Jennifer sings as well and on the opener her breathy vocals and sparse arrangements are delightful. Essentially it's very beautiful music which will get the old heart strings moving. The tracks tend to be on the darker more sombre side and I'm reminded a little of Current 93 or maybe a bit of Diamanda Galas, Carla Bozulich or that kind of earthy woman in there too. - Norman Records

"Empty Vessel Music, the one woman project and vision of Portland, Oregon's Jennifer Jo, sees her new long player 'There's Nobody Hiding Under The Gorse Bush' released on the French Wild Silence label, and this feels like a very appropriate matching indeed. Both band and label are highly individual, creative and concerned with presenting heartfelt and beautiful art via a careful and considered output with a deeply visual aspect. Jo herself is a visual artist as well as musician and Wild Silence's releases (that have featured, amongst others, Richard Moult, Sophie Cooper and label owner Delphine Dora) and sleeve art is always presented with great care and emphasis on quality. Empty Vessel Music, born 'on a rain drenched afternoon in 2003 in Seattle' excel in a spooked psych folk that is evocative of the dark, rustic and sodden beauty of the projects landscape. "There's Nobody Hiding Under The Gorse Bush" is truly haunting, and comes from deep within those endless forests. You will not want to...  more
