“We’ve been paying very close attention to Jessica Pratt over the years,” KCRW DJ Chris Douridas informs us as we prepare to enter the well cultivated sonic world of the LA-native folk artist. Her style — articulated flawlessly on her new LP Here in the Pitch — is as intriguing as it is evasive with identifiable influences harkening to the golden days of 1960s AM radio. But there’s something thornier and less inclined toward easy-listening throughout. She’s as informed by LA's historical fascination with the occult as she is close listens to Pet Sounds. These far-flung and vivid auditory explorations coalesce into a live session that demands the full attention of all drawn into its orbit. Scrub to 02:05:27, fall right in.

DJ comment:
unearthed demos from the past. This is music to transport you, music that makes you feel you are in the Sahara with these extraordinary musicians for whom it is their home and their inspiration. These are raw desert treasures, recorded live with no overdubs, that are only emerging into the sunlight with this album of rarities, Idrache, Traces of the Past.
