about

Cricket is a new project by singer-songwriter, improviser, and producer Nerissa Campbell. It features some of her intimate songs, old & new, woven in an atmospheric dreamscape that seems it would be as comfortable living in a film score as it is on stage in a New York City jazz club.

Performed live with Fabian Almazan on piano & electronics, and Nerissa on vocals, guitar & electronics the album opens with a literary reading by Jared Hohl, whose piece A Ripe Descent was the inspiration for the opening song Descent. What follows is 50 minutes of Campbell & Almazan exploring the sonic space of Campbell’s songs as one piece, with both intricate and expansive improvisations that entwine each song with the next, breathing a new cohesiveness and direction to two decades of original material.

Cricket is available in digital only format and only via Bandcamp. For a limited time it will be offered as a pay-what-you-wish donation.

From Nerissa: “Cricket features my songs woven together as one piece, with improvised interludes between each, in a further attempt to create specific moods and take the listener on a journey through sound, space, & elastic time. I have always had a deep interest in how music makes you feel a certain way, and sometimes more than one way at the same time, and how I might express those qualities sonically- like, how does Billie Holiday make me feel so euphoric & sad at the same time? The Dirty Three so mournful & ecstatic? How can I create those seemingly juxtaposed feelings...and are they that different? I am still learning! I hope wherever this music finds you, it brings you some meditative calm in our collective storm.”

Nerissa Campbell has developed a unique and deeply personal writing and performing voice - immersed in the jazz tradition, but strongly forging her own direction.
