This is a collection that came together through those reflections. Filtering through that and trying to find the truth, and the beauty, and the things you should think about and expelling all that nonsense has been something I’ve spent a lot of time on. “I grew up Baptist and I was scared to death to go to hell. Childers shared the following regarding the album: The Joyful Noise edition was revealed today. Childers and his band played the eight songs live in a single room over the course of two days for Hallelujah, while Jubilee adds strings, horns, backing vocals and instruments from around the world. The ensemble recorded a mix of traditional songs and new originals primarily at Barker’s Dragline Studios. Childers and The Food Stamps - James Barker (pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitar), Rodney Elkins (drums), Chase Lewis (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle) - co-produced the follow-up to 2020’s mostly instrumental, Long Violent History. Out today on Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records, the triple LP presents the same eight songs arranged in three different styles: Hallelujah, Jubilee and Joyful Noise. Tyler Childers took an unusual approach to recording his new album, Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven?, which features his longtime backing band The Food Stamps. Tyler Childers – Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven? And the head-banging at the end of each song…” “A tree root album would be quite severe and stoic, but mushrooms are psychedelic and they pop up everywhere…My fungus period has been bubbly and fun, with a lot of dancing. “It’s something that lives underground, but not tree roots,” Björk said in a Pitchfork profile. The follow-up to 2017’s Utopia, the singer-songwriter compared that LP to the new record, writing of Utopia that it was “all island in the clouds element air and no bass,” and describing Fossora, “sonically…about bass, heavy bottom-end, we have six bass clarinets and punchy sub.” If Utopia was about air then Fossora is about earth, with mushrooms figuring strongly into the themes as well. ![]() Björk’s daughter, Ísadóra, features on “Her Mother’s House.” The LP also contains contributions from Serpentwithfeet and Indonesian dance duo Gabber Modus Operandi. Björk collaborated with her children on Fossora with her son Sindri appearing on “Ancestress,” a song she wrote after the death of her mother.

For anyone unfamiliar with the project, listen at your own risk. Listenable? Absolutely…if you’re already familiar with what The Caretaker is trying to do here (and doing very well, mind you). Vinyl 78s crackle alongside bottom-octave moans and otherworldly soundscapes straight out of a sci-fi horror film. Replacing them are fragmented samples of noise, a split second of a muted trumpet followed by a cavernous rush of low-frequency drone. Any glimpses of wistful melodies or coherent structures are gone. Stage 4 undoubtedly is the turning point in the series. As one of our readers put it last year, it’s “background music for penning a suicide note.” Dark stuff indeed. As an example of conceptual art, Everywhere At The End Of Time is quite remarkable, but as a passive listen, it can be an incredibly dark experience. Stage 1 was bright, colorful and hopeful, but began to deteriorate quite significantly into confusion and terror towards the end of Stage 3.
