Joanne Robertson Announces ‘Blurrr’ LP, Due Sept 19 via AD 93

Joanne Robertson follows up on AD 93 with the album Blurrr, out 19th September.

Written between painting sessions and also whilst raising a child, Blurrr is a record of loose and playful intuition. Robertson’s vocals and guitar drift, murmur and whisper across the record; fostering a deep intimacy as unknown emotions rise up from the well. Robertson’s intuitive approach to music making co-exists alongside her improvisatory and collaborative nature. She has collaborated regularly with artists such as Elias Rønnenfelton Heavy Glory, Dean Blunt on Backstage Raver and Black Metal, and Sidsel Meineche Hansen on Alien Baby. In Blurrr, Robertson turns to previous collaborator and friend: cellist, composer and producer Oliver Coates.

The announcement of the record coincides with the release of the single ‘Gown’, a collaborative track between Joanne Robertson and Oliver Coates.

PRAISE FOR JOANNE ROBERTSON

“Uniquely, serenely meandering vocals […] it sits apart from nearly everything else, valuing heart over complexity, intuition over technicality. Those who get it, get it deeply.”
– CRACK Magazine

“As a songwriter, Robertson captures a subdued quality, a sadness that transcends communication […] poetry for days lit by darkness”
– Tiny Mix Tapes

“Robertson’s lifelong fascinations wash over her listeners, rippled under the hum of a perfumed exhaust purr […] Influenced by the dialectical ringing of Cocteau Twins and Kurt Cobain’s garbled singing style, her words and delivery are part of a personal language that she keeps close to her chest.”
– PAPER

“Hazy, occasionally discordant and nevertheless completely beguiling.”
– The Predatory Wasp

“Syllables linger and connect to the next in abstract yet intuitive shapes, not unlike constellations.”
– Resident Advisor
