Carla Bozulich needs no introduction. Her work with Ethyl Meatplow, The Geraldine Fibbers, Scarnella, The Red-Headed Stranger (with Willie Nelson) and many others spans over twenty years of uncompromising sound, driven by a voice and vision that consistently delivers spine-tingling beauty, originality and directness. Carla's new album (her first on Constellation, and the label's first release by a non-regional artist) is a devastating, elegaic, brutally honest song cycle that finds her voice unleashed with unprecedented emotive depth and determination. Evangelista is a heartrending, gut wrenching crawl down the aisle and up to the secular altar, where isolation and desperation are redeemed by incantatory sonics and out-reaching, soul-saving lyricism. This is an unbelievably compelling exorcism of a record, churning and channelling out of loneliness to heal and rebuild connective tissue through sound.
