The sub-genre has never not been a staple in the diets of most record collectors. It proves its timelessness with each passing year, defying the laws that chain most other styles to their respective eras. As everything else ages, psych-folk darts in and out of decades, covered in the residue of each, but not necessarily beholden to the tropes of any single one, appearing new and welcome each time. On I See You Among the Stars, Chicago sound-weaver Jessica Risker is nudging the category back into plain view, setting a proper place for it at the table in 2018 and beyond.Comprised of eight aural vignettes, I See You Among the Stars is a wood-grained, amber-hued world respectfully orbiting influences like Nick Drake, Sibylle Baier, and the softest moments of Broadcast. Paisley fabrics fade beneath an uncovered window, while dust and smoke billow gently through the sunbeams that never fully reach the dark half of the room. I See You Among the Stars achieves what the best music in the genre does: pictures with tangible depth, color, and detail painted with only a few well-chosen pigments. It’s apt that Risker, a musician and sound designer since her teens, embodies the dichotomous foundation that makes acid-folk so timelessly intriguing. “I tend to approach music from two different angles” she says of her process. “The first is just songwriting — melody, chord changes, lyrics — those basic elements. The second angle is more an exploration of sounds, with the idea that there are no constraints. I See You Among the Stars is an exemplar of spaced out psych-folk that seeks to convey the intimacy and introspection of a woman going about her simple matters at home, while creating an atmosphere to provide melancholy accompaniment to these very tasks. But the final result is something much more: a polyhedral, exploratory, and mystifying peer into a detailed pop-up storybook that reflects the mind and heart of its luminous creator. “The extraordinary loving magic of Chicago’s DIY culture has produced another masterpiece of emotional clarity and songcraft. I’ve been awed watching Jessica shape these songs into perfect concise visions in basement show after coffeeshop show. It’s exciting for everyone else to finally get to see into her introspective world.” Rob Sevier, co-founder of Numero Group “…heartbreaking & lovely…” NPR Artist Jessica Risker Genre Folk Label Western Vinyl Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 01 I See You Among The Stars 3:36 02 Cut My Hair 4:13 03 Anyway When I Look In Your Eyes 3:23 04 Zero Summer Mind 3:42 05 Shallow Seas 3:52 06 Reassign Me 3:36 07 A Cooling Sun 3:47 08 Help Me Help Me 3:53 Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Folk View Product Quick View @ Mind Music Palace Folk | Carpark Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th February 2023 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders @ Mind Music Palace £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Carpark Records SKU: CAK167LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Frank Bob Frank Folk | Light In The Attic | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 24th February 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Frank Bob Frank £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA112LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 24th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View CocoRosie Heartache City Folk | Lost Girl Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released 29th January 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders CocoRosie Heartache City £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Lost Girl Records SKU: LGR001LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes 7" Released Date: 29th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joan Baez In Concert Folk | Vinyl Passion | 180g, 1LP Released 21st November 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joan Baez In Concert £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: Vinyl Passion SKU: VP80046 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 21st November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Incredible String Band Incredible String Band Folk | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 14th July 2016 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Incredible String Band Incredible String Band £28.00 Genre: Folk Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5127 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Young'uns, The tiny notes Folk | Hudson Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th May 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Young'uns, The tiny notes £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Hudson Records SKU: HUD036LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hello, Blue Roses The Portrait Is Finished And… Folk | Locust | 180g, 1LP Released 28th June 2008 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hello, Blue Roses The Portrait Is Finished And… £8.00 Genre: Folk Label: Locust SKU: LOCUST106LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 28th June 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Broken Chanter Broken Chanter Folk | Last Night From Glasgow | 1LP Released 19th June 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Broken Chanter Broken Chanter £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Last Night From Glasgow SKU: LNFG30 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Swarbrick & Simon Nicol In The Club Folk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 11th October 2010 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Swarbrick & Simon Nicol In The Club £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP161 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 11th October 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Josephine Foster No More Lamps In The Morning Folk | Fire Records | 1LP Released 5th February 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Josephine Foster No More Lamps In The Morning £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Fire Records SKU: FAME002LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
