Russell, a poet, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and co-founder of Our Native Daughters and Birds of Chicago, unpacks her youth in searing detail throughout the album. Born and raised in Montreal, Russell imbues her music with the colors of her city – the light, the landscape, the language – but also the trauma that she suffered there. It is a heartbreaking reflection on a childhood no one should have to endure, and at the same time a powerful reclamation – asserted from a place of healing, of motherhood, of partnership – and from a new home made in Nashville. The record features contributions from many of the artistic family members she has found there including Yola, Erin Rae, The McCrary Sisters, Ruth Moody, Knobler, Jamie Dick, Joe Pisapia, and her partner JT Nero. “It was just about making these songs live and breathe in the most honest way,” Russell says. “We were laughing, we were crying. And the communion between musicians, I hope people can hear that on the record. It felt like magic.” Outside Child, notes Russell “is about resilience, survival, transcendence, the redemptive power of art, community, connection, and chosen family.” Singing about this on “Nightflyer,” Russell ponders the healing power of motherhood, using the track’s wide-open expanse to convey the strength she didn’t know she had. Here, the line “I am the mother of the evening star / I am the love that conquers all” is “the most defiantly triumphant, hopeful line I’ve ever written…that’s about the birth of my daughter and how that transformed me.” Though they had a fraught relationship, Russell remembers how she’d crawl underneath the piano and listen to her own mother play. “I would hum along with her,” Russell recalls. “She said I was humming before I could talk. I was able to feel some kind of comfort or love or connection in a way that she couldn’t verbally or physically express – but I could feel in her music that there was love in her.” In the end, Outside Child is not only a radical reclamation of a traumatic childhood and lost home, it is a lantern light for survivors of all stripes – a fervent reminder of the eleventh hour, resuscitative power of art. “Allison’s new album, Outside Child, draws water from the dark well of a violent past,” says poet and songwriter Joe Henry.” “The songs themselves – though iron-hard in their concerns – are exultant: exercising haunted dream-like clean bedsheets snapped and hung out into broad daylight, and with the romantic poet’s lust for living and audacity of endurance.” Artist Allison Russell Genre Rock And Pop Label Fantasy Buying Options 2LP Coloured Vinyl Format 2LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings LP1 Montreal Nightflyer Persephone 4th Day Prayer The Runner LP2 Hy-Brasil The Hunters All Of The Women Poison Arrow Joyful Motherfuckers Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Allison Russell and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Allison Russell The Returner Rock And Pop | Fantasy | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th September 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Allison Russell The Returner £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fantasy SKU: 7252410 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Luluc Sculptor Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 13th July 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Luluc Sculptor £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1235 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 13th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Holy Sons The Fact Facer Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th April 2021 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holy Sons The Fact Facer £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL373LPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Goo Goo Dolls, The Dizzy Up the Girl – 25th Anniversary Rock And Pop | Warner Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th September 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Goo Goo Dolls, The Dizzy Up the Girl – 25th Anniversary £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Records SKU: 0093624857167 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Verve, The A Storm In Heaven Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 5th September 2016 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Verve, The A Storm In Heaven £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4786538 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 5th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Howler America Give Up Rock And Pop | Rough Trade | 1LP Released 14th January 2012 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Howler America Give Up £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rough Trade SKU: RTRADLP640 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th January 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anchoress, The Confessions Of A Romance Novelist Rock And Pop | Kscope | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 14th October 2016 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anchoress, The Confessions Of A Romance Novelist £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Kscope SKU: KSCOPE920 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hoops Tapes #1-3 Rock And Pop | Fat Possum | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2017 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hoops Tapes #1-3 £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP16441 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Waterboys, The Room To Roam (Half Speed Mastered) Rock And Pop | Chrysalis | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Half Speed Mastered Released 3rd December 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Waterboys, The Room To Roam (Half Speed Mastered) £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Chrysalis SKU: 5060516097098 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Half Speed Mastered Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cranberries, The Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?
