jason calhoun - revelations of divine love jason calhoun

On revelations of divine love, jason calhoun’s fifth release for Dear Life Records, Calhoun has assembled an especially potent album of work that whirrs, hums, and glows.
Unlike his recent output centered around extended, hypnotic compositions, the fourteen tracks here immediately request your attention and curiosity.
Their concision only underscores one of his greatest strengths: the ability to capture an evaporating, fleeting moment, and hold it close.

The title is a nod to British Anchoress Julian of Norwich, whose collected writing of the same title is the earliest of any woman written in English.
Here it serves as a unifying theme for Calhoun's particular palette of restless textures and tentative melodies.
This is personal music, to be sure, but it also feels tactile, almost taffy-like in its presentation—and with such a potent combination, it is hard to resist a smile while listening.
Like when the insistent pulse grounding 'last one' suddenly changes color as yawning tones reveal themselves, or how 'eye dilation' tiptoes into the room with each note sounding like a carefully chosen step.
Though never precious or fussy, the album remains resolutely intimate.
