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 Mike Oldfield Collaborations Rock And Pop | Virgin Records | 180g, 2LP Released 29th November 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mike Oldfield Collaborations £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Virgin Records SKU: 5705809 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 29th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Luluc Dear Hamlyn (Loser Edition) Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 5th March 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Luluc Dear Hamlyn (Loser Edition) £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1121X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cold War Kids Live At Third Man Records Rock And Pop | Third Man Records | 1LP Released 13th January 2014 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cold War Kids Live At Third Man Records £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Third Man Records SKU: TMR081 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Korn The Paradigm Shift Rock And Pop | Spinefarm Records | 2LP Released 7th October 2013 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Korn The Paradigm Shift £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Spinefarm Records SKU: 8501145 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Guerilla Toss Eraser Stargazer Rock And Pop | DFA | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 4th March 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Guerilla Toss Eraser Stargazer £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: DFA SKU: DFA2482 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stygian Stride Stygian Stride Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 18th March 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stygian Stride Stygian Stride £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL327LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th March 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Propagandhi Failed States Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released 3rd September 2012 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Propagandhi Failed States £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 271921 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 3rd September 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bush The Art Of Survival Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th March 2023 £22.00 Select options Bush The Art Of Survival £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th March 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Miami Sound Machine Primitive Love Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 29th March 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miami Sound Machine Primitive Love £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3422C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pete International Airport Safer With The Wolves… Rock And Pop | A Recordings | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2017 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pete International Airport Safer With The Wolves… £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: A Recordings SKU: AUK128LP Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
