“She could
freely break hearts and fill dark, smoky rooms with her confident and alluring
songs.” – NPR
As with all previous Trentalange records, Same Illusion, the upcoming third
album from the Seattle-based songwriter and musician Barbara Trentalange, was produced by Martin Feveyear (Brandi
Carlile, Mark Lannegan, Jessie Sykes.) The first single from the album (out January
28th, 2014) is “Reconnected,”
a very personal tune that speaks directly to what makes Same Illusion a bright
light in Trentalange’s growing
catalog.
“By exploring my emotions and being honest with
myself, I’ve been going through a long process of healing,” she says candidly
of her recovery from clinical depression. “‘Reconnected’
is about this journey towards forgiving myself for all of the self-destructive
beliefs I have been holding onto, and learning to love my spirit again.” The
video for the song speaks to this intimacy as well, and is what Trentalange dubs a “video selfie.” She explains, “I chose to do the video this
way due to the introspective nature of the song. I'm taking a good look at
myself.”
Influential, now legendary, female-focused zine Venus (RIP) referred to the 2006 debut Trentalange album Photo Album of Complex
Relationships as “disturbing music for disturbing times,” and while the
times might still be disturbing, Trentalange
is writing from a more joyous place than before. Her “mix of Annie Lennox’s most sinister growl and PJ Harvey’s vocal anguish” (also noted by Venus) remains, but becoming a mother since the release of her last
album in 2009 has changed Trentalange’s
mood.
Fans of the artist’s work will not miss Trentalange’s sensitivity to the human
soul, as her deft hand at drawing character studies continues throughout Same
Illusion. And while Trentalange’s
songs are still dark in timbre on the new record, they now shine with glimmers
of brightness revolving around themes of love, longing, and spirit. Same Illusion by Trentalange arrives on January 28th, 2014. Contact Josh
Bloom at Fanatic for
