Scottish musician Jacob Alon shortlisted for prestigious award<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n Naming Blurrr as number eight in their top 50 list, Pitchfork described Roberton\u2019s playing as \u201cmore eraser marks than pencil stroke\u201d and that she \u201csweeps away the lines between voice and fingers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The musician and painter joined the likes of the Bolivian-American duo\u2019s Los Thuthanaka self-titled debut album, which was hailed by reviewers as \u201cahead of its time\u201d and Bad Bunny\u2019s DeB\u00cd TiRAR M\u00e1S FOToS, whose single DtMF reached 2 in the UK\u2019s indie charts.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n Pitchfork\u2019s review for Blurrr\u2019s inclusion in the list read: \u201cJoanne Robertson\u2019s gossamer, improvisatory folk is more eraser marks than pencil strokes. Even the \u2018r\u2019 in Blurrr is smudged.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cOn her sixth album, the Glaswegian singer-songwriter and painter sweeps away the lines between voice and fingers, fingers and guitar, guitar and the thrum of Oliver Coates\u2019 cello.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHer lyrics, riddled with em-dashes and elisions, seem to map her spontaneous neural firing. On \u201cGown,\u201d Robertson is momentarily possessed by the living ghost of Chan Marshall, though where Moon Pix once languished in the throes of sleep paralysis, Blurrr is totally lucid.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Blurrr has been best likened to another Scottish artist, Cocteau Twins, with her music described as a lo-fi rendering of the band\u2019s sounds as she is joined by cellist Oliver Coates in the latter half of the album.\n<\/p>\n
\n You can find Robertson’s Blurrr on most streaming sights as well as on Bandcamp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The musician’s experimental folk sound in her sixth studio album, Blurrr, has made it to the top 10…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":611967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-611966","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115662174758014201","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=611966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/611966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/611967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=611966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=611966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=611966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
