Imposible Things

Description

A true gem of South America, Kristin Diable's voice, both whimsical and unyielding like the Mississippi, is a genuine anthem to magic. Her timeless melodies and incisive lyrics draw inspiration from the mystique of everyday life, revealing the glimmer of hope in the most ordinary moments. The result is music that is both rooted in reality and from another world, inimitable. Her previous album, Create Your Own Mythology, recorded in Nashville with producer Dave Cobb, was praised by NPR, American Songwriter, and Southern Living as one of the best of the year. Her new album, Impossible Things, opens a new chapter. Recorded at Dockside Studios in Louisiana with producer Ben Alleman (Dr. John, Ryan Adams, Jenny Lewis, Madi Diaz), it offers a unique sonic experience, like a radio tuned to two eras at once: dream pop echoes floating in a traditional house, the sweetness of a Sunday morning infused with the glow of a Saturday night. These songs take their time. They pull up a chair, slide a coffee across the table, and say, "Speak the truth, without hesitation." Diable does not hesitate. She wrote these songs through periods of upheaval and rebirth, navigating loss, the death of loved ones, domestic violence, the experience of being a single mother, and the necessary awareness to rebuild her life on her own terms. The result is a work that practices a kind of spiritual jiu-jitsu, transforming pain into grace. This album suggests that transcendence is not found at the end of the tunnel, but here and now, if one knows how to listen. When the song ends, the world may seem the same, but you may have changed. This is often how impossible things begin.
