Bio / Background
Wasps and White Roses is the new EP from Matt
Bauer on Crossbill Records. It features 7 new
recordings including interperatations of two traditional
songs, harmony vocals from Mariee Sioux (harmony
for Brightblack), Nathan Wanta (Last of the Blacksmiths), fiddle from Alisa Rose, and a duet with Jolie Holland.
*************
"Carve It Out" unfolds like a mourner`s haiku. There is hushed solitude in the delivery of Matt Bauer`s haunting material, and this opening track - a duet with Jolie Holland - feels like a 100 year old still life from some remote Kentucky locale. Bauer`s core accompaniment is the banjo, mostly, played in such a way as to suggest authentic field recordings from ages ago. But his hushed, intimate delivery bridges the past with the immediate. When this 7-track EP has concluded you`ve felt transported by not only the chilling music but through his keen sense of lyrical imagery, both poetic and raw.
