(LP) Joanne Robertson - Blurrr

Released on September 19, 2025, Blurrr is Joanne Robertson's sixth solo album and is characterized by a ghostly, spectral sound. Written between her painting sessions and raising a child, the album showcases Robertson's intuitive and improvisatory approach to songwriting. The tracks often feature drumless acoustic ballads, with vocals and guitar that drift, murmur, and whisper across the record, creating a sense of deep intimacy. 

Cellist, composer, and producer Oliver Coates is a frequent collaborator on the record, with his rich, emotive string textures providing an ethereal complement to Robertson's raw and delicate songs. Coates' contributions enhance the atmosphere without overpowering the quiet, introspective nature of the tracks. Reviewers have praised the album for its emotional power and ability to reward close listening, comparing it to artists like Grouper, Cat Power, and Arthur Russell.
