Release Notes:
In her relatively short career, Abigail Washburn
has covered a lot of ground; both physically and
metaphorically. Bouncing between China and
Appalachia has informed much of her musical output
and influenced a body of work that goes far beyond
the usual claw banjo repertoire. Her Rounder debut,
City Of Refugee is a sublime marriage of old-time
and indie-pop. On the album Washburn pair venerable
folk elements with far-flung sounds, and the
results feel both strangely familiar and unlike
anybody's ever heard before. The album features My
Morning Jacket's Carl Bromel, The Decemberists'
Chris Funk, Turtle Island String Quartet's Jeremy
Kittell, atmospheric jazz guitarist Bill Firsell,
the Mongolian string band Hanggai, who managed to
contribute ambient throat -singing from halfway
around the world. The album was produced by Tucker
Martine (The Decemberists, Tift Merritt, Mudhoney)
and features the talents of multi-instrumentalist,
singer-songwriter, Kai Welch (Tommy and the Whale).
City Of Refugee offers and expansive palette of
supple and modern textures resulting in a
remarkably harmonious piece of art.
