Mar 26Jason Molina cover for Weary Engine Blues benefit comp by Graveface Records

I’m so honored to have recorded a cover of Being in Love (one of my favorite Jason Molina songs) for the Graveface Records benefit album, Weary Engine Blues. It will be released later in the year on the vinyl version. All proceeds to benefit his family and memorial fund. More Info…

Spending time playing this song out live and recording it allowed me to feel what a precious thing it is to hold someone else’s song in your hands, in your lungs…to interpret it, to do it justice, to honor its intention. I love this song and I love the heart behind it that is forever Jason’s.

Sondra Sun-Odeon

is a Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter/recording artist. Her former project, dark psych-folk band Silver Summit, was one of the more unique excursions into the otherworldly realms. Similarly, her solo work travels the ether of her lyrics’ darkly romantic world, full of heartbreaking longing and desire. On her solo debut, Ætherea, guitar loops meet clouds of tempestuous string arrangements and morph into fingerpicked arpeggios… ethereal vocals give way to abandon, adjacent heavy drop-tuned guitar chords. Her aesthetic is at once difficult to pigeonhole and at the same time, familiar on an elemental level--transporting one to a place that is ever-present yet only liminally known.

“Epically divine sounds transcend minds in the musical dreamworld of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sondra Sun-Odeon. Her impeccably orchestrated debut solo album, Ætherea, is a truly delicate thing of beauty replete with a psych-folk tapestry (a la Angels of Light) soaring and weeping behind her.”
