Gentle Party's first full length release, Jouska, pioneers a unique, expansive approach to chamber pop that speaks to the quartet's West Coast roots. The album features the hauntingly evocative voice of Jessicka layered on beds of luscious strings. The ensemble of multiple award-winning musicians, Meredith Bates, Shanto Acharia, and Elisa Thorn, on violin, cello, and harp, respectively, provides a strong and beautiful melodic, rhythmic, and textural foundation. The music conjures images of pandemonium and playfulness contrasted with stark heartbreak. All of this anchored in the virtuosity of the players. This stunning new release was produced by the incomparable Chris Gestrin.
