Recorded from a summer to a winter through 2021 and 2022, Proserpine is Winter’s most cohesive, focused music to date: confidently revelling in space, fixating on isolated sounds and giving way to satisfying, swirling waves of vocal and electronic buzz. Proserpine is Teresa Winter’s debut recording for Glasgow-based label, Night School. On Proserpine, musical patterns revolve and intersect with each other, transmogrifying the music’s narrative. Over-arching themes emerge: continual change, elusiveness. Insubstantiality emerges into concrete reality in the form of recognisable field recordings: the purring of a pet cat, the hum of a live cable. The loops and patterns are sometimes just out of sight, the click and whirl on Child Of Nature is the backdrop to hymnal vocalisations by Winter, who intones spell-like text in conversation with herself. On opener Circles, Winter’s vocal is pre-linguistic, detached syllables falling into flowing streams, before Plume’s field recordings seem to juxtapose nocturnal and diurnal wildlife. “You said I was a Flower Of The Mountain” sings Winter, as James Joyce’s Molly Bloom does but the carpe diem desire in Ulysses is dissipated here, spread out by gauzy, droning organs. Here desire is blown up and out, changed into something undefinable but no less powerful. Change is at the heart of the album. The Roman goddess Proserpine, herself a reimagined version of the earlier Greek goddess Persephone, is always between: between summer and winter, the land of the living and the underworld, constantly emerging into new states of being. It’s a fitting metaphor for Winter’s work. Like an Apple feels like it soundtracks this in-between state, long, trailing reverb smudging synth keys and Winter’s achingly beautiful vocal performance. The effect is stirring but flitting in and out of perception, sometimes Winter’s presence feels of this world, of musical instruments and practises and at others it feels like the music is about to phase into a different plane, a different universe. While Proserpine references the myths and cults of the classical, pre-Christian era, Winter’s restless preoccupation with the mechanics of religion informs the album in other ways. Ritual is present through out, either in the mantra-like vocalisations or even the private rituals we are invited to witness: on Fireworks the listener eave drops into the protagonist’s private bonfire. On the stunning Lamento, layers of Choral vocal interlock in celestial patterns that recall catholic mass: it’s an overt effect that simulates the ecstasy of religious fervour and also reminds the listener of the use of vocal that runs through Proserpine. Winter’s vocals often echo with the euphoria of obliteration, of disintegrating in an awful bliss. It’s an effect achieved with finality by the closer New Water as the piece begins with voice before burning up in the atmosphere of elegiac violins and enveloping undertows of whirring synth patterns and ghostly pads. Proserpine is forever turning, changing, always elusive and quietly revelator Artist Teresa Winter Genre Rock And Pop Label Night School Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Circles Plume Flower Of The Mountain Blood Moon Myrtle Like An Apple Fireworks Child Of Nature Lamento New Water Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Primus Green Naugahyde (10th Anniversary Edition) Rock And Pop | ATO | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 5th November 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Primus Green Naugahyde (10th Anniversary Edition) £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: ATO SKU: ATO0581 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Olof Arnalds Palme Rock And Pop | One Little Independent | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th September 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Olof Arnalds Palme £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: One Little Independent SKU: TPLP1238 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Various Artists Talkin’ Loud Two Jazz Dance / Fusion | Talkin' Loud | 1LP Released 18th August 2022 £6.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Various Artists Talkin’ Loud Two £6.00 Genre: Jazz Dance / Fusion Label: Talkin' Loud SKU: nn247999 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View White Stripes, The De Stijl Rock And Pop | Third Man Records | 180g, 1LP Released 25th March 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders White Stripes, The De Stijl £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Third Man Records SKU: 19439842361 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laura Marling Semper Femina Folk | More Alarming Records | 1LP Released 9th March 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laura Marling Semper Femina £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: More Alarming Records SKU: MORAMR001LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mike Love Reason For The Season (Clear Vinyl with Red & Green Splatter) Rock And Pop | BMG Rights Management | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd November 2018 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mike Love Reason For The Season (Clear Vinyl with Red & Green Splatter) £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 4050538430813 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention Mothermania: The Best Of The Mothers Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP Released 19th July 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention Mothermania: The Best Of The Mothers £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 0238401 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mamas & The Papas, The If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 29th January 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mamas & The Papas, The If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 0746167 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Neil Young Neil Young Archives Vol. I (1963-1972) CD Box Set Rock And Pop | Reprise | Box Set, CD Released 10th November 2023 £186.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Neil Young Neil Young Archives Vol. I (1963-1972) CD Box Set £186.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Reprise SKU: 0093624867548 Formats: Box Set, CD Released Date: 10th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Captain Beefheart Ashtray Heart Rock And Pop | Let Them Eat Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 12th May 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Captain Beefheart Ashtray Heart £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Let Them Eat Vinyl SKU: LETV040LP Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 12th May 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
