Joana Serrat Dripping Springs (2017)

Joining forces with Israel Nash who produced the album and also appears on it alongside musicians from the ranks of Midlake, John Grant and Trampled By Turtles, the latest offering from the Spanish singer-songwriter Joana Serrat takes its title ‘Dripping Springs‘ from the Texan town near to which it was recorded. Her fourth in five years, dealing with themes of farewell, the mood is set with the whisperingly moody dry deserts album opener, Western Cold Wind, swirls of keys and guitars gathering midway, before Lost Battles offers a warmer musical climate with its lap steel and brushed drums and Serrat’s hushed, accented vocals conjuring 60s European movie soundtracks.
