The Canadian artist’s eighth album is a real labour of love, with contributions from Luz Elena Mendoza of Y La Bamba on the mellifluous, twisty duet’Ways Of Losing’ and LANKUM’s Cormac Mac Diarmada playing violin and viola on ‘Feel Life’.
‘Dyed ‘ feels like a folky jazz incantation with a psychedelic undertow and her new version of the traditional song ‘Katie Cruel’ (which she previously covered) feels as unsettling as it’s beautiful.
Love and loss are sadly all too often our uninvited universal bedfellows. Cogan intimately ruminates on both here, without getting bogged down by one or the other.
Catch Ora Cogan on tour. Album released on May 31st via Prism Tongue

Yeah, her voice has that purity. Definitely some darker psych folk elsewhere though. Perhaps more Lankum, Smoke Fairies etc
