If you like your chamber music to be dense, droning, and dissonant, you're probably a big fan of Lucy Railton. The British cellist and composer — who has worked with titans like Kali Malone and Stephen O’Malley, Phill Niblock, Laurel Halo, and Patti Smith — today announces Blue Veil, her first ever album of solo cello recordings. Recorded at Église du Saint-Esprit in Paris, it's coming in April via Ideologic Organ. "Phase III," a preview track out now, is a nine-minute plunge into a haunted meditative state, and I mean that in the best way. Listen below.
