LORI GOLDSTON - Open Space

"Lori Goldston’s new album was recorded in one single continuous take with her cello, an amp and a distortion pedal as she watched a static shot of a canyon, the light slowly shifting across the landscape. On Open Space, Goldston pushes her cello through distortion and feedback until it feels less like strings than overdriven metal, yet melody remains the album’s quiet center. Brutal and beautiful in equal measure, these pieces can grind, shimmer, and roar at full volume before drifting into something unexpectedly weightless and serene."
