Miles Away Jen Gloeckner

The details of Jen Gloeckner's debut CD Miles Away--soothing rhythms, layers of meaning, and guitar and vocals that blend while letting the power of each show through-combine seamlessly to have one single effect: Spellbinding. Miles Away is spellbinding and enchanting, but it's no 'relaxation' CD. You'll be lured into a world that's more twisted and mysterious than calm and relaxing-more Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman) than Neverland. Miles Away pulls you into Jen's world--her real world, clouds and silver linings. 'The record is the result of a manifestation of everything I have experienced in life up to that point,' Jen recalls, 'and I felt now was the time to release all these different emotions.' As one reviewer gracefully put it, 'she casts writerly ego aside in favour of minimal lyrics elaborated by spell-weaving sounds. she's just different, dark, ethereal, funky, an alluring big-sky, small-room mystery.' One Little Indian. 2005.
