Jen Cloher
I Am the River, The River Is Me

 

60-90点相当

 

Courtney Barnett の恋人(同性)?っていう話題だった人という記憶。

ただその記憶とともに、作品は結構いいんだよなぁという記憶もくっついている。

 

今作も非常に良い出来で、

もう少し扱いや評価があってもいいのではと思う。

 

 

A celebration of culture and self is at the heart of Jen Cloher’s fifth solo album. There’s a gentleness to I Am The River, The River Is Me, but a steadfastness, too, as the Melbourne-based singer-songwriter communicates the truths of their existence as a queer Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Kahu Māori person, and the places where those markers of identity intersect.

Dreams and life collide on this beautiful record which, true to its title, feels like a relaxed downstream journey. It stands in contrast to the ferocity of their last release, 2017’s excellent self-titled album, which largely took aim at the toxicity of the music industry – Shoegazers was a masterclass in excoriation – and explored Cloher’s romantic partnership with fellow musician Courtney Barnett, which ended in 2018.
