WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE

WHAT WE SAY

The unostentatious instrumentation is in no rush to reveal its quality & subtle depths, & graciously allows all ears to focus on Jana Horn's softly sung vocals, as she tells refined tales of everyday & beyond with an easiness that invites immediate attention & an eloquent charm that encourages you to stay. An important reissue by No Quarter for a voice that deserves a wider audience.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

Horn says the LP, "seemed to come about indirectly, almost in passing, a feeling of being in-between things. I was really mobile at that time, living wherever... I had just discovered, late, Raymond Carver Broadcast, Sybil Baier, Annette Peacock, Richard & Linda Thompson, a short story called “Car Crash While Hitchhiking” by Denis Johnson. I had “Heart Needs a Home” in mind, “The Great Valerio;” I was just really moving through the world, hanging in the shadows of the people I wanted to be. Hoping, looking out, this is Optimism. I was looking for anything." ​
