' '
,: On her sixth studio album 'Breaking the Blues', Seattle-born :,
: singer/songwriter Amy Blaschke brings her exquisitely nuanced :
:' sensibilities to a more expansive sound than sheÆs ever ':
,: explored before. With her graceful sense of melody, BlaschkeÆs :,
: intricate and guitar-heavy take on folk-rock captures the :
:' subtlest of feelings, includingùon the title trackùthe inherent ':
,: push-and-pull between beauty and pain. ôIf youÆre of a :,
: melancholy disposition, it takes a lifetime to figure out how to :
:' use that energy constructively and not turn it against ':
,: yourself,ö says Blaschke of the quietly triumphant ôBreaking the :,
: Blues.ö ôMusicÆs such an incredible way to keep from getting :
:' downhearted, and to have somewhere meaningful to put that ':
,: melancholy.ö :,
: :
:' The follow-up to her 2015 album 'Opaline', 'Breaking the Blues' ':
,: finds Blaschke again teaming up with producer Brian Whelan (a :,
: singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist known for his work with :
:' Dwight Yoakam and The Broken West) and engineer Mark Rains ':
,: (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Waylon Jennings), as well as a :,
: host of local musicians who helped build the albumÆs more lavish :
:' arrangements. The result is a powerful yet warmly intimate ':
,: selection of songs, including the album-opening lead single :,
: ôUnder My Skinö (a soulfully charged track recently featured on :
:' ABCÆs Nashville), the harmony-laced and sublimely revelatory ':
,: ôPeace Keeping,ö and the wistful but glorious ôAcross the Skyö :,
: (written in memory of BlaschkeÆs father and inspired by ôthat :
:' feeling of wanting to keep in contact with someone youÆve lost, ':
,: and how that kind of pulls you into the greater mystery of :,
: whatÆs out thereö). :
:' ':
,: Growing up in Washington, Blaschke learned to play guitar at 14 :,
: and began landing shows in local venues by the time she was 16. :
:' Inspired by the lo-fi and literate alt-rock of artists like Liz ':
,: Phair, Elliott Smith, and Mary Lou Lordùalong with a cassette :,
: copy of Joni MitchellÆs Blue, passed down by her momùBlaschke :
:' steadily developed her voice as a songwriter, and in 1999 ':
,: released her debut album 'Red Letter'. And while prolific :,
: creativity has guided BlaschkeÆs path as a songwriter through :
:' the years, the making of 'Breaking the Blues' marked an ':
,: especially intense moment in her life as an artist. ôThe year I :,
: wrote this new material was one of my hardest ever, as far as my :
:' physical wellbeing,ö says Blaschke, who struggles with Lyme ':
,: disease. ôI had to step away from a lot of things and be much :,
: less active, but at the same time my creativity felt really :
:' vibrant. Music was like a sanctuary, and it ended up being the ':
,: fastest IÆve ever written a new body of work.ö :,
: :
:' As on her previous albums, Blaschke brought that body of work ':
,: to life with a blend of solo songwriting and close :,
: collaboration. ôI always write by myself,ö she says. ôI have a :
:' music room, kind of like my own little lady cave, and the songs ':
,: tend to start there sometime late at night.ö Noting that she :,
: thrives on the infinite possibilities in using melody to channel :
:' emotion, Blaschke says sheÆs also endlessly in thrall to the ':
,: magic of creative chemistry. ôListening to a mix of something :,
: IÆve just recorded with all these great musicians fills me with :
:' so much joyùitÆs pretty much unparalleled,ö she says. ôYou make ':
,: a song by yourself, and even though you can tell it has :,
: vitality, thereÆs nothing like sharing it with other people and :
:' seeing it crystallized into something new that you never could ':
,: have anticipated. IÆll always be fascinated by that.ö :,
