Liberman is Vanessa Carlton’s latest solo set and fifth overall. With classical-motif tracks like “Blue Pool,” “Take It Easy” and backward-masking-dense closer “Ascension,” Carlton has seriously upped her game, and is now composing complex etudes that easily eclipse her chiming Grammy-nominated hit from 2002, “A Thousand Miles.” Carlton will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our feature on her.
Carlton: This album takes me back to running the tractor roads in the grey drizzle along the fields in Box, England. Just Neil’s voice, an electric guitar, a ton of reverb. Daniel Lanois produced it. I bet it took a week. It’s gorgeous and raw. Minimal.
