《Castle In The Sky》就像邀請你進入遊樂園裡的那個哈哈鏡帳篷，穿越90年代舞曲、後龐克、Art pop和實驗R&B，戲劇性的鋪張展現了Jennifer Vanilla靈巧又善變的創造力，探測所有人好奇心的底線。
In the early 21st century on the bustling streets of New York City, Jennifer Vanilla is a container, a portal, a joy delivery system, a self help regimen, a social mirror, a Times Square celebrity, a shark-toothed advertiser, a kicky talk show host and an ebullient mascot.
Collaboratively crafted with co-writer/co-producer Brian Abelson (who also releases music as See Other and other aliases on labels Toucan Sounds and Sorry Records), Jennifer Vanilla s debut full length Castle in the Sky is a deft and mercurial “jennifreaky” journey, traversing 90s dance music, no wave, post-punk, art pop, new age and experimental R&B.
“Consider this an invitation, I will be your guide,” Vanilla beckons on the album s “Take Me For A Ride,” which, like much of the album, is driven by their nimble and virtuosic vocal delivery. Variously steely, theatrical, sensuous and authoritative, Vanilla s vocals harken the sparkling precision of Ann Steel, the growling tenacity of Laurie Anderson and the wispy tenderness of Shelley Duvall in Faerie Tale Theatre.
Jennifer Vanilla performances often are exercises in the transformation of reality through fantasy, testing the limits thereof, while the songs of Castle in the Sky are an artifact of that laboratory. Many of these songs took on numerous incarnations over the course of years before arriving at their album form, mutated in direct response to audience reaction.
A year after the initial release of Castle in the Sky via Sinderlyn Records, a vinyl edition of the record arrives on December 1, 2023. The LP is accompanied by a digital expanded version of the record featuring remixes and reworks from Jerry Paper, musclecars, and Love Injection.
