Nov 22Folkadelphia releases limited edition live recording + linocut poster

The truly wonderful folks at Folkadelphia have released a limited edition live recording of a show from March. I am so honored to be their very first release! There is a beautiful linocut, hand-printed poster that accompanies the live solo performance that includes new, unreleased tracks as well as different versions of the songs than on the album. There are different intros, or totally slowed-down versions, for example for Belonging and Witches (LangsamHexen). I really enjoy having the freedom to do pared down versions of the songs and I hope you’ll enjoy this really excellent recording, too.

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.”
