The Voyager Clarissa Connelly SKU: CCMUSIC03LP Barcode: 5051142008275 15.00 £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: CCM Released Date: 2nd April 2021 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info The Copenhagen-based, Scottish-born composer Clarissa Connelly’s music is evocative of the whimsical and almost child-like, tainted by an undercurrent of dark sensuality, disquietude and existential dread. Characterized by complex arrangements, big compounded chords, as well as a broad array of instruments, effects and sounds, her songs orient the listener towards utopian beauty that lie somewhere between the baroque and the primordial. With an experimental approach to vocal techniques, her voice can manifest benevolent fay-like creatures as easily as banshees and maleficent spirits singing melodies that retain the accessibility typically associated with pop-music. The compositions are lyrically and aesthetically grounded in Celtic folklore and Scandinavian vitalism. The threshold between the mundane and the fantastical are accentuated in her work, in such a way that the pursuit for – and the ability to recognize – real beauty in the world become anchored in the realm of work, everyday anxiety, motivation, human brilliance and failure. With forthcoming album The Voyager, Connelly sets out to not only to study the relationship between nature and music, but also its relationship with time. She says: “I’ve always been especially excited about times in the north before Christianity came, and how the Pagan culture and Christianity became intertwined in people through rituals and formations in the landscape – burial mounds, passage graves, dolmens, etc.” She continues: “In some way, it’s very difficult to translate nature into an understandable movement of change. Looking at a mountain I often view a still picture of time – a moment right now – but sometimes, I can look at the mountain and see millions of years of change and movement. I believe that this point of view can be assisted by art and music. In a landscape ornamented with ruined Viking fortresses or ancient burial mounds, I find that I, for whatever reason, seem to be able to perceive time and comprehend history (the history of nature and culture) as a series of changes in a more salient way.” It is here that The Voyager derives so much of its power. It roots itself in history, mythology, capable of intertwining and unravelling both past and present. Songs such as Holler and The Hills Are Crying – opening and closing tracks on the album, respectively – conjure images of these ancient Danish sites, offering something more than just a fluid, long-forgotten way, and instead a tangible reverie that can educate, engage and thrill in equal measure. Connelly explains: “I have the idea, that the mystical and fantastical nature of these olden barrows and ruins can kindle a more dynamic and historically informed perspective. I think that an understanding of time as a movement is articulated when looking at the landscape in this way and can maybe bring us out of our little bell jar, and into a greater experience of life as a whole.” The Voyager is released in conjunction with an app Vandringen (released 27 september 2020), conceived and created by Clarissa Connelly – along with the contributions of 21 other Danish musicians, painters, sculptures, performers – which highlights special ancient Danish locations, not viewable on Google Maps. These locations are presented with local knowledge and a number of them are interpreted for the modern day by the creatives involved. Connelly concludes: “I am very eager to write music that sounds like something that is happening now but has also happened a very long time ago. I have always found it fascinating to view history through changes in the landscapes around us, and therefore I started created this app and wrote this album.” Artist Clarissa Connelly Genre Folk Label CCM Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Holler Bargain Walden Theresa Latitude Longitude Mother And Daddy The Fallen Land Shallow Water A Grain Of Sand The Hills Are Crying Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Clarissa Connelly and more from Folk View Product Quick View Clarissa Connelly World of Work Leftfield / Experimental | Warp | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th April 2024 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Clarissa Connelly World of Work £23.00 Genre: Leftfield / Experimental Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP370 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Martin Simpson & Dom Flemons A Selection Of Ever Popular Favourites Folk | Fledgling | 1LP Released 12th October 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Martin Simpson & Dom Flemons A Selection Of Ever Popular Favourites £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Fledgling SKU: FLLP3100 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frokedal Hold On Dreamer Folk | Name Music | 1LP Released 26th February 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frokedal Hold On Dreamer £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Name Music SKU: NAME010LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View caroline Dark Blue Folk | Rough Trade | 12", Single Released 13th March 2024 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations caroline Dark Blue £10.00 Genre: Folk Label: Rough Trade SKU: nn282650 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 13th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Hot Vultures Up The Line Folk | Plant Life | 1LP Released 13th June 2014 £15.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Hot Vultures Up The Line £15.00 Genre: Folk Label: Plant Life SKU: NN70052 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th June 2014 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Richard Thompson Guitar, Vocal) A Collection Of Unreleased and Rare Material 1967-1976 Folk | Island | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 25th March 2022 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Richard Thompson Guitar, Vocal) A Collection Of Unreleased and Rare Material 1967-1976 £26.00 Genre: Folk Label: Island SKU: 3576259 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jess Williamson Cosmic Wink Folk | Mexican Summer | 1LP Released 11th May 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jess Williamson Cosmic Wink £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Mexican Summer SKU: MEX2531 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View I'm Kingfisher Glue Folk | Fading Trails Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd March 2023 £23.00 Select options I'm Kingfisher Glue £23.00 Genre: Folk Label: Fading Trails Recordings Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Angelo de Augustine Swim Inside The Moon Folk | Asthmatic Kitty Records | 1LP Released 25th August 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Angelo de Augustine Swim Inside The Moon £16.00 Genre: Folk Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records SKU: AKR133LP-C1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chieftains, The Voice Of Ages Folk | Concord | 2LP Released 17th March 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chieftains, The Voice Of Ages £33.00 Genre: Folk Label: Concord SKU: 7245789 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 17th March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Trevor Lucas Overlander Folk | Klint | 180g, 1LP Released 1st April 2013 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Trevor Lucas Overlander £17.00 Genre: Folk Label: Klint SKU: MJJ361LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Folk Start again
