Berlin on AIr: Jessi Robertson – Dark Matter (Indie Rock)
Even serious health diagnoses haven't stopped the up-and-coming Nashville-based artist Jessi Robertson from releasing a truly powerful album!
'Dark Matter' is full of self-reflection, personal thoughts, and ideas about physical themes that the brain can barely grasp. To my ear, the eight tracks reveal an ingenious combination of soulful folk and atmospheric dream pop, giving the whole thing a narrative and slightly dreamy or surreal touch.
The singer-songwriter secures a clear unique selling point with her unmistakable voice. It takes center stage melodically, dynamically, and expressively, and seems to tell the story of a very personal little journey. I also mustn't forget to mention the minimalist instrumentation, which gives the music a remarkably honest, authentic, and handcrafted character with a DIY flair.
