Camelot

Description

Camelot, the seventh album by Canadian singer-songwriter Jennifer Castle, is an extraordinary and affecting chronicle of a place more real than the legendary Camelot of British medieval lore—but it is also a space more psychic than physical. In Jennifer’s Camelot, the fantastic mingles with the mundane, and the grail, if it exists, transforms everyday experience into art and art into faith, sublimating earthly concerns into sublime, celestial prayers to Mother Nature. Co-produced by Jennifer and Jeff McMurrich, her seventh album is at once her most monumental and most understated to date, demonstrating a mastery of the art of rendering her words and melodies with crisp, poignant economy. For all their descriptive detail and soaring music, these songs feel inevitable, eternal as morning prayers. "Blowing Kisses" is featured in its entirety in the penultimate episode of the third season of the hit series The Bear.
