The Geography of Light

The latest Philo recording from folk-roots artist Carrie Newcomer is a resonant soundtrack for a world that is both sacred and ordinary. Newcomer sings about serious subjects with clarity and elegance, and a healthy measure of good humour and self-awareness, with a voice the Austin Statesman has called "as rich as Godiva chocolate". Her music resonates with Appalachian and classical influences, and this new release piano, violin, mandolin, cello, bass, percussion and harmony vocal textures with Newcomer’s adept guitar work and powerful but intimate vocals. The result is an exceptional album that captures the light and shadow in all of our lives. Tracks: There Is A Tree / The Clean Edge Of Change / A Map Of Shadows / Geodes / Two Toasts / Where You Been / Biscuits And Butter / A Mean Kind Of Justice / Leaves Don't Drop (They Just Let Go) / You'd Think By Now / One Woman And A Shovel / Lazarus / Throw Me A Line / Don't Push Send.
