On ‘\u003cstrong\u003eHometown Girl\u003c\/strong\u003e’ they distill transience and flux into a quiet set of chamber works subtly resembling the room recorded nuance of their ‘Jazz Plates’ side with Perila - here taken a step further into more elusive, low-lit dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a mode that’s wistful and melancholic, listening to the album’s dozen discrete pieces feels like leafing thru a journal of hand-written notes, reflecting on the feelings that come with separation from loved ones and displacement from familiarity. Ulla performed and recorded all of the instruments themselves, lending a tangible tactility to layered arrangements of woodwind, keys, strings, drums and voice, lightly speckled with electronics and perfused with open window field recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey locate a crackling frisson of personality in the voice notes and day-dreaminess of their mottled inscapes, gauzily demarcating lines between past and present selves. In that aesthetic and approach we can also hear similarities to Jonnine’s blue-skied ‘Southside Girl’ or crys cole’s poetic sensuality, often leaning into the domestic surreal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA frayed, opening salutation ‘Good Morning’ signals a delirious half hour in Ulla’s company, variously swaying to the downstroked jazz swing of a ‘Lavender (NF)’ spritzed with clarinet, whilst ‘Froggy Explorer’ stirs the air like Jan Jelinek on a barely-there tip. The Basinski-esque fritz of degraded loops really snags the imagination along with a twinkling nightlight ‘Ball’, as the album opens out into its most fully resolved songs with a closing couplet of disarming wonders ‘Drawing of Me’, and a blurry ‘Mute’ that feels like Ulla 〜almost〜 reveals too much before retreating back into the shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Miscellaneous","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51263657967882,"sku":"","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/5518\/6240\/files\/U_e_-aka-ULLA-Hometown-Girl-LP-Miscellaneous-Records-ROTATION-BOUTIQUE-BERLIN.webp?v=1764084418","url":"https:\/\/rotation-boutique.pro\/products\/u-e-aka-ulla-hometown-girl-lp","provider":"ROTATION BOUTIQUE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
