Correatown - Sleep and Other Drugs (2014)

A delicate woven memoir of melodies and still moments, Sleep and Other Drugs delves into the heart of a weary traveler eager to find a new compass and new horizons to chase. The first new material in several years from Correatown, these songs explore lessons hard learned while touring overseas and finding one's way home again. Reflections and insight into shifting desire and waylaid dreams, both fragile and searing, are laid bare with an emotive lyricism and honesty buoyed by Correa's supple voice. Sleep and Other Drugs marks a slight departure from her previous album Pleiades. Rather than building songs in dense layers of texture and haze, the arrangements and instrumentation are open and spare, examining the negative space in composition, like things left unsaid.
