Following the fame of her voice are choruses of winged entities (and a space shuttle) that ascend and descend a maze of spirituals: ritual prayers, blues laments, vestal hymns and jubilant benedictions.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eThe edges of the natural world are revolving backdrops from which our narrator perches upon symbolic precipice or saunters desolate snow-blanched forest, exploring eternal themes of mortality and morality, beneath the moon and in occasional dialogue with a mysterious lord of love, an ambiguous mystical figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanying herself on guitar, piano, organ, harp \u0026amp; autoharp, this cycle of 18 new songs hearken back to various facets of Foster's anachronic oeuvre (the esoteric balladry of This Coming Gladness, native rhythms of Blood Rushing, somnambulist waltzes of I'm a Dreamer, the Shaker primitivism of Hazel Eyes, I Will Lead you). Celestial humor and devastating innocence are delivered with contributions from Victor Herrero (lead guitars), Gyða Valtýsdóttir (cello), Chris Scruggs (pedal steel), Jon Estes (bass), as well as cameos by members of The Cherry Blossoms and others.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eRecorded, engineered and mixed by Andrija Tokic at his Nashville Bomb Shelter Studio, mastered by John Baldwin, and produced by Josephine herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoothsayer Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA Little Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Virgin of the Snow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePearl in Oyster\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBenevolent Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForce Divine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll Pales Next to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLord of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEternity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndian Burn\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Peak of Paradise\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdieu Color Adieu\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePining Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChallenger\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI Was Glad\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShepherd Moon of Starry Height\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLittle Lamb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFaithful Fairy Harmony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl 2xLP","offer_id":54645521482074,"sku":"FIRELP533","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":54645521514842,"sku":"FIRECD533","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/josephine-foster-faithful-fairy-harmony_5a2bc7b1-6836-4e44-847d-c2f4e27c0ee4.jpg?v=1789053859","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/josephine-foster-fairy-faithful-harmony","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
