Over the course of just a few years, Josephine Foster has
captivated audiences & critics alike through a magnetic
patchwork of recordings ranging from broken spirited balladry
(Born Heller), fiery psych rock gestalt (All The Leaves Are
Gone) to the voice of an outsider folk siren (Hazel Eyes, I
Will Lead You). The two constants are the utterly overwhelming
strength and seductive unease of her voice & the bravery of
her iconoclastic spirit. For anyone else, what lies inside her
latest offering, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, might be a
freakish turn but for Josephine Foster this is a grand part of
a continual movement. And so it goes, A Wolf in Sheep's
Clothing is a deeply absorbing, magical reconstruction of 19th
century miniature German art song -- the intimate sibling to
operatic arias customarily performed in the parlor. The album
floats in a wash of blissed out voice and electric guitar in
an almost dreamlike fashion through a salon of her own
invention. In a music where sacred cows roam the pastures a
plenty, Foster pays tribute -- on her own terms -- and in the
process makes a case for German as a new found romance
language.
