Jolie Holland’s 6th album, Wine Dark Sea, is out now on ANTI- Records. Co-produced by Ms. Holland, Wine Dark Sea exhibits a more aggressive and visceral style than any of her past recorded work. The album features some of New York’s finest experimental musicians combining elements of noise rock, blues, country and free jazz with Jolie’s timeless song craft.
From the pounding riffology of “Dark Days” and “On & On”, to the pastoral swamp noise of “I Thought It Was The Moon” & the title track, to the sublime soul of Joe Tex’s “The Love You Save” and her own “Waiting For the Sun” to the country boogie travelogue, “Route 30” to the soaring tenderness of “All The Love” & “First Sign Of Spring”, the Crazy Horse swagger of “Saint Dymphna” and the barrelhouse stomp of “Palm Wine Drunkard,’ Wine Dark Sea is Jolie Holland at her confident, inimitable best.
