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 Kate Rusby Hand Me Down Folk | Pure Records | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 22nd January 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kate Rusby Hand Me Down £25.00 Genre: Folk Label: Pure Records SKU: PRVIN63 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Ossian Dove Across The Water Folk | Iona Records | 1LP Released 12th August 2014 £5.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Ossian Dove Across The Water £5.00 Genre: Folk Label: Iona Records SKU: NN71113 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th August 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Johnny Flynn Sillion Folk | Transgressive | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnny Flynn Sillion £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Transgressive SKU: TRANS269X Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robbie Basho Visions Of The Country – 40th Anniversary Edition Folk | Gnome Life Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code, Includes Poster Released 27th September 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robbie Basho Visions Of The Country – 40th Anniversary Edition £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Gnome Life Records SKU: GNM026LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code, Includes Poster Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mike Cooper Life and Death in Paradise + Milan Live Acoustic 2018 Folk | Paradise Of Bachelors | 1LP, Includes CD Released 14th July 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mike Cooper Life and Death in Paradise + Milan Live Acoustic 2018 £32.00 Genre: Folk Label: Paradise Of Bachelors SKU: POB070LP Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 14th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sandy Denny Like an Old Fashioned Waltz Folk | RSD2018 | 1LP Released 21st April 2018 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sandy Denny Like an Old Fashioned Waltz £24.00 Genre: Folk Label: RSD2018 SKU: 6717157 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cara Dillon Wanderer Folk | Charcoal | 1LP Released 1st December 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cara Dillon Wanderer £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Charcoal SKU: CHARLP009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joe Pug Nation Of Heat | Revisited Folk | Loose Music | 10", EP/Mini Album, Single Released 22nd July 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Pug Nation Of Heat | Revisited £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Loose Music SKU: VJLP273 Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album, Single Released Date: 22nd July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View William Fitzsimmons Covers, Vol. 2 Folk | Groenland Records | 1LP Released 11th August 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders William Fitzsimmons Covers, Vol. 2 £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Groenland Records SKU: LPGRON281 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cair Paravel Some Other Morning Folk | Sommor | 1LP Released 14th January 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cair Paravel Some Other Morning £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Sommor SKU: SOMM019 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
