Working as a creative collaborator can be a triple-edged sword: Helping others explore the jungle of ideas inside their heads can be both inspiring and challenging -- but making time for your own creative projects as well is often a delicate balance. The years as side-woman for the likes of
Sufjan Stevens
,
The National
, and
My Brightest Diamond
have made
Marla Hansen
's journey from 2007's
Wedding Day
to her new album
Dust
a faraway honeymoon: time spent recording and touring the world with others before settling in Berlin to focus on her own follow-up, a multi-faceted gem which wears the lines of its lengthy travels like a hard-earned medal. The slow-burn of
Dust
's inception can be felt as the album plays. The tracks have weight and wisdom like hand-me-down folk songs, but also sparkle with the confidence and the excitement of an artist with new colors on her palette.
Wedding Day
's breezy innocence has graduated into grown-up chamber music; Hansen's classical background comes into wide focus as solo plucked viola evolves into techni-colour Americana dreamscapes, courtesy of Berlin's
Oriel Quartett
. The influence of Hansen's new hometown is all over this record, nowhere felt more than with the swashbuckling contributions of Berlin synth pioneer
Barbara Morgenstern
, crackling under the fireside songs like shards of electric glass.
Andi Haberl
(
The Notwist
) lurks under every track, his drums simmering like an approaching army of wooden horses.
Taylor Savvy
(
Peaches
,
Bonaparte
),
Knox Chandler
(
Cyndi Lauper
,
R.E.M.
), and
Christian Biegai
(
Antony and the Johnsons
) are all present at this banquet. A transatlantic tapestry sewn together by producer
Robbie Moore
(
L.A. Salami
,
Jesper Munk
) at his Berlin studio complex Impression Recordings. It is this tangled underbelly which allows
Dust
such an infectious friction. Hansen's iridescent, aching vocal delivery continuously breaks the gloom like a golden thread, effortlessly gliding above the thunderclouds -- a front-row seat in the safety of her silver-lined spy plane with a view of the neon jungle below.
Dust
falls from an age-old story and lands in a whole new world. CD version includes eight-page booklet; edition of 500.
