With Reverie by JESSICA
With Reverie is JESSICA’s second solo album.
With Reverie, is self-described as sounding like "Kate Bush on Valium”. With nothing else but piano and vocals, Jessica revisits the first instrument she learnt briefly as a child (and abandoned namely due to the teacher’s “disciplinary” approach).
All songs were written this year during Sydney’s extensive lockdown and recorded and produced by Darren Cross (Gerling, D.C Cross) who is also Jessica's other half in folk-goth duo, Jep and Dep.
The songs were recorded live, just vocals and piano, with some harmony later added. This process, and the less-is-more approach has created an album of immense solitude, and delicate intimacy.
With Reverie is an exploration into daydreams, thoughts, mind-trips, wonderings and introspections.
With Reverie will be released exclusively to Bandcamp.
