Imagine if the dream pop daze of Beach House collaborated with th virtuous orchestrations of Angel Olsen and the surrealist flair of Corrina Repp would arise. With a grasp on evocative folk, exploratory guitar and cinematic soundscapes Repp writes with the big picture in mind, creating a tireless flow that encapsulates and executes. The LA-based, Portland-raised (and Portlandia-starring) Repp has just announced her seventh album Island out 11/12 via Jealous Butcher Records.
Glide is premiering the haunting “One Summer” that paints her calming orchestrations with vibrant musical colors spotted flawlessly over its four and a half minutes. Check out this stunner below….
Island is Corrina’s first self-written and self-recorded album, produced in a tiny apartment on a hill in Echo Park during a time of isolation at the start of the pandemic. Resonant and resolute, the album is suffused with peaceful energy, touching on universal themes while existing as a document of Corrina’s inner life during that time. Hyper-focused due to these limits, Repp drew on her natural strengths of voice and guitar, resulting in music even more markedly intimate
than her previous work. Island spans everything from haunting folk to exploratory guitar to cinematic pop, with Corrina’s voice and instrument taking turns sharing center stage.
