Father

Description

With Father, her sixth album, American Brisa Roché delivers her most personal and accomplished record. A gem of minimalist folk, haunted by the unique voice of the singer and produced by the great John Parish (To Bring You My Love by PJ Harvey), it has a twilight, ghostly atmosphere, reminiscent of gothic Americana. Father is an extraordinary project. Brisa Roché sings about the immense, impossible, almost incestuous love she felt, as a child and teenager, in Northern California, for her father (who died when she was 16), a dealer who recited poetry and lived life at full speed, a charismatic and sultry adventurer who had many conquests. Through vignettes that take us to wooden cabins lost in the forest or to the backseats of cars parked in front of liquor stores, Brisa Roché proves that she is an accomplished songwriter, capable of creating the most beautiful lyrics, both personal and universal. We are right up close to the lava. And, damn, it burns.
