*Will be shipped after restocking in late May This is a record released by Claire Rousay, an ambient pop artist from Los Angeles, USA, on the country's long-established label Thrill Jockey in April 5. Contains 2024 emotional ambient pop to neoclassical ambient songs. Mastering is by Andrew Weathers. Below is an explanation by the label. "claire rousay is a singular artist known for challenging conventions in the forms of experimental and ambient music. rusay uses textured found sounds, lush drones, and candid field recordings to capture the mundanity of life. Her music is curatorial, detailed, and skillfully crafted to create an emotional impact. It's a meditation on the poignant emotional terrain of loneliness, nostalgia, sentimentality, guilt, and sex. The album's narrative arc is guided by delicate musical gestures and artistic vulnerability, creating disparate and unexpected influences. Boldly integrated, rousay crafts songs in various homes, bedrooms, hotels, and other private locations, giving each verse a sense of solitude and energy. A collection of poignant, poignant pop songs that explore universal emotions with a sense of mastery and vision. Rousay's vocals and guitar are at the center of the sentiment, and her intimate, diary-like lyrics are machine-like. In contrast to the vocal effects, the relaxed guitar playing and talkative tempo emphasize the strong desire for connection, deep longing, and the afterglow of separation, while at the same time driving the song. Her mastery of nuance is rooted in her exploratory musical past, seamlessly woven into adventurous textures and unique compositions with sincerity and admiration. I want to belong to a world and a community that I respect, like playing a Fender guitar or dressing like Kurt Cobain," Rousay says. From math-rock duos to emo-rock, Rousay worked as a percussionist for more than a decade before shifting her focus to the solo collage work for which she is best known. She hits the drums and her chorus begins, bringing tears to her audience's eyes. I feel that way even when I'm playing my live show right now." The album balances the poetic soul of her influences with the documentary heart, chronicling her life as she lived alone in a house across the country, learned guitar, and reconnected with pop music. Capturing the moment loosely. ``Lately, I've found myself wanting to express my feelings and thoughts as clearly as possible, and I thought pop was the way to do it,'' says Rousay. The confessional nature of the sampled conversation fragments gives her work a sense of specificity and intimacy that combines immediacy and curiosity. Rousay's innate ability to evoke pure emotion from sound comes from his willingness to embrace pop formats, the fragility of field recordings, minimalist arrangements, and innovative sonic choices. The resulting Sentiment songs are at once breathtakingly personal and anthemic. Sentiment is a blissfully, achingly melancholic, and undeniably sensual listening experience. "...
