Call it Jessica Bailiff, Untitled or anything you want; the
third album from Jessica Bailiff exceeds the promise of her
first two albums. Simultaneously clearer and murkier, it
features a more acoustic focus and experimental sound
placement. Recorded at home with help from Jesse Edwards (Red
Morning Chorus) and former bandmate Noel Keesee, the album was
realized between Sept. 2001 to Feb. 2002. Two songs feature the
violin-uke (most notably the stark "Hour of the Traces"), there
is a tin whistle on a few tracks, piano, a few computer fx,
drums, smeary guitars and even sitar.
Jessica Bailiff describes her new album as being about
"...stagefright, dreams, loss of creative energy/desire, love &
time, living in the same place all your life, ghosts,
near-death experiences, etc..." After recording two albums with
the members of Low, Jessica Bailiff has created a direct,
stripped-back album that showcases her strengths in both
songwriting and arragements. Chris Nosal wrote in Philadelphia
City Paper that "Bailiff merges the best of rock, folk and
genuine sonic exploration into a loud and powerfuyl whisper."
David Keenan wrote in The Wire that "Bailiff has succeeded in
creating a singular soundworld where frail, intensely personal
wordage combines with hurricane sound."
