Description
The Sound And The Fury, Nerinas fifth album, is released on September 11th on her own Idaho Records. To describe the album as a departure from its four predecessors is something of an understatement. When Nerina says its her mid-life crisis album, shes only half joking. When she says it isnt her happiest collection of songs, she isnt kidding.
The album is as tempestuous as its title suggests. Its a bold, bluesy, Biblical storm, in turns restless, aggressive and defiant.
Sonically too theres been a shift. Inspired by Nerina and her producer (and husband) Andy Chatterleys collective electronic roots its atmosphere crackles with electronics, space is as vital as sound and textures matter as much as melodies. From the crackling, menacing electro-blues of opener This Is A Drum to spectral, reflective, electro-classical closer The Longest Memory, The Sound And The Fury is as beguiling beautiful as it is disturbingly dark.
Inspired by actual events and the emotions they evoked, The Sound And The Fury is an album of stories, from the city, from inside Nerinas mind, from weeks spent glued to the news. Its about love, loss and survival as much as any heartbreak album. Its about one woman and her fears for her family, but its also about where the world is at right now and where it will be in the future.
