I came across Eyes Full by Zoh Amba completely by chance late on Sunday night. I listened to it again on coming home from the Jazz jam yesterday evening without a full context either time as I generally think that's the best way to listening if you can.
It sounds like much of the best music in that it seems as if it was directly transmitted from outer space. Or else America which is often one of the closest things we've got at our immediate disposal for that sensation. If you're looking for an earthly comparison it strikes me as a mutant strain of Appalachian blues.
There's plenty of grief and plenty of joy and plenty of purest emotion that's somewhere in between. The singer seems to be a country cousin of Big Thief's Adrienne Lenker which is hearty recommendation alone and some of it sounds like it was recorded in a blender frankly. It all has a giddy drive and vision.
