Once praised by NPR as “the soul child of Bob Dylan and Dolly Parton,” Alexa Rose has returned with a stunning collection dwelling between the shimmering falsetto of Alison Krauss and the supernatural tone of Adrianne Lenker. The new album, Atmosphere, lyrically attends to the symbiosis of joy and grief, terror and hope, heaviness and lightness in our daily lives.
Rose’s collaborators comprise a masterclass of unrelenting, sonic emotion. Produced by Ryan Gustafson of The Dead Tongues and mixed by Grammy-winning Matt Ross Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price, John Prine), ‘Atmosphere’ features pedal steel from Mat Davidson (Twain, Big Thief), percussion from Dom Billet (Dr. Dog, The Weather Station), bass from Jeff Ratner (Langhorne Slim), cello from Hilary James (Matt Pond PA, Bathtub Cig), banjo from Helena Rose (Holler Choir), and truly haunting harmonies from Josh Oliver (Watchhouse, Tyler Childers).
“This album is all about tenderness,” Rose says. “It’s about going out on a limb to feel the full swirl of what life throws at you.” Each song has a companion: one for feeling at home and one for when you’re completely lost, one for grieving the violent nature of the world and one for the gentler, kinder days. Ten songs flow like a gradient, centered around the idea that our experiences move through us like storms, and if we don’t hide from them, we can watch the skies unfold beautifully.
