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 Quilt Plaza Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Mexican Summer | 1LP Released 26th February 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Quilt Plaza £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Mexican Summer SKU: MEX2061 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Jimmie Rodgers Train Whistle Blues Americana / Country | RCA Victor | 1LP Released 24th March 2022 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jimmie Rodgers Train Whistle Blues £10.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: RCA Victor SKU: nn239342 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kathryn Joseph for you who are the wronged Folk | Rock Action | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 22nd April 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kathryn Joseph for you who are the wronged £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rock Action SKU: ROCKACT144LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peat & Diesel Live at Barrowlands 2020 Folk | Wee Studio Records | 2LP Released 29th January 2021 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peat & Diesel Live at Barrowlands 2020 £28.00 Genre: Folk Label: Wee Studio Records SKU: WSPD6 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Polly Paulusma The Pivot On Which The World Turns Folk | Wild Sound | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th September 2022 £23.00 Select options Polly Paulusma The Pivot On Which The World Turns £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Wild Sound Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Leyla McCalla Sun Without The Heat Folk | Anti | 1LP Released 12th April 2024 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Leyla McCalla Sun Without The Heat £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Anti SKU: 280341 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kathryn Williams Little Black Numbers Folk | One Little Independent | 1LP Released 22nd April 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kathryn Williams Little Black Numbers £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: One Little Independent SKU: RSD17051 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Christian Lee Hutson Beginners Folk | Epitaph | 1LP Released 29th May 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Christian Lee Hutson Beginners £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Epitaph SKU: 277641 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mary Black Mary Black Orchestrated Folk | 3u Records | 1LP Released 22nd November 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mary Black Mary Black Orchestrated £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: 3u Records SKU: 5099343992603 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joan Baez Blessed Are (Record Store Day 2014 Exclusive) Folk | Vanguard | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 10th March 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joan Baez Blessed Are (Record Store Day 2014 Exclusive) £19.00 Genre: Folk Label: Vanguard SKU: AVAN65701 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 10th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
