Ascend Ascend: Live in Seattle With Lori GoldstonJanaka Stucky/Lori Goldston12 Album (Clear vinyl) (Limited Edition)Genre: Spoken WordDescription: Praised by Jimmy Page as riveting Janaka Stucky's book length poem Ascend Ascend published by Jack White's Third Man Books in 2019 gets a mesmerizing treatment on this album by the same name accompanied by experimental cellist Lori Goldston. Goldston known for her work with a number of acts-including Nirvana Cat Power and Earth-provides otherworldly layers of distortion and natural reverb over Stucky's dirge-like vocal performance.Recorded at the All Pilgrims Church in Seattle while Stucky was on a 7-city tour produced by Atlas Obscura in 2019 the performance is served well by the room's ambiance and was recorded mixed and mastered by Mell Dettmer-who has engineered albums for acts such as Earth Sunn O))) Master Musicians of Bukkake and Wolves in the Throne Room.
