12 Little Spells

by
Esperanza Spalding

published in

2019
Cover art
September 5, 2019 Andrew C says:
Spalding has long been a virtuoso performer and visionary songwriter. Now, with her "12 Little Spells," she has become a musical healer.
Where Spalding's previous work was built around a central character, here she offers 12 songs each explicitly inspired by a separate body part, such as the mouth, eyes and fingers. In every way, Spalding doubles down on her neo-prog, art rock and avant-garde influences, offering songs rife with harmonically and rhythmically inventive soundscapes, as well as lyrics that read like poetry.

Andrew C reading a book

Andrew C

I'm a library associate and I seem to find a new book for my reading list around every corner. Just don't count on my reading them all, since I like to take my sweet time becoming fully immersed in each story and subject (whether fictional, historical or technical) once I'm hooked. Otherwise, you'll find me cartooning, dreaming up new stories and hitting the trails of Ohio for more hiking and nature-watching.
