' '
,: Eva Louise GoodmanÆs Nighttime project locates itself on a :,
: musical tree planted on the British Isles, perched atop the :
:' branch of folk leaning into sixties rock. Her upstate New York ':
,: environs donÆt stray far from that image. With tempered :,
: percussion, floating mellotron, and singing that evokes Bleecker :
:' & MacDougal on a fervent Saturday afternoon, her new album ':
,: Keeper Is The Heart reaches deep into the essence of musicians :,
: such as Vashti Bunyan, Sibylle Baier and Pentangle, breaking :
:' down the decades into a sound thoroughly and bizarrely modern. ':
,: :,
: Through her years performing with Mutual Benefit, Goodman fell :
:' in love with life on the road and the collaborative energy of a ':
,: band. In this third Nighttime album, she channels these :,
: experiences into her own music. The creative journey from :
:' writing to recording to mixing drove her deeper into a sense of ':
,: self while expanding her sound. In the process, she put aside :,
: lo-fi origins and challenged herself to achieve the same :
:' intimacy with a bigger production. ':
,: :,
: Like most paths of self-discovery, the journey started with :
:' displacement. In October 2019, Goodman set out to record the ':
,: album on her own, while cat-sitting at a friendÆs empty Brooklyn :,
: apartment. Rather than recording, she was drawn to the overgrown :
:' garden, where she spent her days listening to music and reading ':
,: old journals. Charlie Megira, The Incredible String Band and Roy :,
: Montgomery invoked the spirit of the album, as she realized that :
:' a new, more collaborative approach would be necessary to bring ':
,: the songs to life. :,
: :
:' In March 2021, after a pandemic year immersed in sound ':
,: experimentation and writing, she entered the upstate New York :,
: studio of recording engineer Rick Spataro (Florist). Together, :
:' Spataro and Goodman dove into creating the album, recording one ':
,: song a day, letting the spark and excitement of spontaneity be :,
: their guide. ôI've always been fascinated with æautomaticÆ :
:' arts,ö Goodman says, ôwhere things are created intuitively and ':
,: without premeditation, from the subconscious.ö In this light, :,
: they worked with abandonû pushing through the heaviness of songs :
:' written years earlier with the same energy as songs which were ':
,: not yet fully developed. Taking chances, improvising, they :,
: sought to strip away pretense, and elude perfectionism at all :
:' cost. ':
,: :,
: Among their experiments, the duo manipulated tape speedsûslowing :
:' or speeding up different instrument tracks, imbuing passages ':
,: with altered perspectives. Improvisation was the key in track :,
: five, æThe Way,Æ a song about ôthe magical act of carving out a :
:' path through life, amidst all possibility.ö After a long day of ':
,: recording, the song was feeling heavy and uninspired. As night :,
: fell, Spataro picked up the Stratocaster and, in one take, laid :
:' down a rolling, roiling guitar line that defined the track. ':
,: :,
: This spirit of surrender weaves through the album. ôBreak free :
:' from time, and sink in the pool of the mind,ö begins æGarden of ':
,: DelightÆ, an energetic highlight, propelled by 60Æs-era organ :,
: and Jefferson Airplane-esque vocals. The song was accidentally :
:' deleted after the first day of recording. By luck or fate, the ':
,: one surviving file captured the songÆs loose and free-wheeling :,
: essence. Inspired, Goodman encouraged her circle of :
:' collaborators to work similarly: ôI gave everyone trust and ':
,: total freedom to contribute as they felt called to, encouraging :,
: an intuitive approach of simply improvising, playing through the :
:' song a few times and then sending over the results.ö Synth, ':
,: cello, violin, saxophone and flute all appear, but often in :,
: unconventional ways. :
:' ':
,: Keeper Is the Heart reflects GoodmanÆs process towards greater :,
: creative freedom. The first words she sings: ôLift the veil of :
:' all of this hate/To see the fear at its base.ö Her last lines: ':
,: ôWeÆll follow the fates across the great expanse of time/To the :,
: source of the light within our mind.ö In between is a work of :
:' art awash in personal awakenings that revel in the freedom of ':
,: intuition, the lifting of veils, and the beauty of :,
: transformation. As Goodman wonders, "What do you find when you :
:' look inward, seeing beyond, past your fears, to your heart's ':
,: true desires?" :,
