CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Tiny Vipers is Jesy Fortino, a musician living in Seattle. Since her last and first album, 2007's "Hands Across The Void", she's toured Europe and the US, transfixing audiences into a solemn hush. Transcending the mere folk tag, Fortino draws from disparate inspirational sources, from the avant-garde or country musician Townes Van Zandt. "Life On Earth" gives musical life to the themes that inhabit her lyricisms: love found and lost, places come and gone. The future annihilates the past, consuming it like a fire. A shining hope permeates the threat of doom here. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsStunning Majestic Sadness Joel D. Kreager | Seattle, WA USA | 07/24/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you are a reflective person, this album will open vistas to you. It is utterly stark and majestic, simply her voice and guitar through most of the album. The feeling she projects using these simple means is breathtaking. The album becomes more experimental with "Young God" and "Twilight Property." Here she is working with sound and murky vocal and guitar to create more of a soundscape than a song. This album has truly great inward vision and strength. It is the sound of your own heart beating and the wind in the trees. It is the feeling inside your chest that is the reason why you care for someone else." A Dramatic Stark Landscape L.Grasslands | 07/29/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "A stunning journey of a record. Jesy takes the listener on an incredibly intimate journey through the landscape of the Pacific Northwest, as it's reflected in the happenings of her life. It seems the landscape has become a metaphor for her, and the instances and deeds of her life and she translate them flawless, dare I say even better that Laura Veirs. Jesy is much more solitary than Veirs, her work in more stark and intricate, but it is (for me at any rate) more rewarding , maybe I just prefer the romanticism of the loneliness and heartbroken beauty of Tiny Vipers."
