Artist Close-Up: Jennifer Castle Embraces “Angels of Death”
Jennifer Castle is readying to play Baby’s All Right, on September 8, with the most peculiar of sounds and subject: death. To humanity, it is already a struggle to live and define “living.” Hence, death is a reality we, often, mentally avert. Yet, Jennifer Castle’s Angels of Death was born from her and our own fascination with this averted topic.
Majestic and moving, Angels of Death plays like the wings of such carriers. Its keys are delicate, like one would imagine their landing, and its verses are poetically virtuous; analyzing loss, love, grief, and optimism as if they were fairies dancing around the tree of life. Castle’s voice swings and swoops like magical dust; you can imagine angels blooming their light through her vocals. Yet, again, the most admirable aspect of her sound is its tenderness. She is showing that this “darkness” known as death can, technically, be called our rebirth.
Jennifer Castle – Texas
In Puerto Rican Culture, it is said to dream of a birthday cake means someone will die. Yes, we are hilariously ironic people (lol!). Yet, I mention that bit of lore to capture that beautifully, folkish sound of Jennifer Castle, and her capacity to show that perhaps our greatest fears hold our greatest liberations. Maybe, death is the freedom of our spirit from our body; causing us to shed a vessel that we, often, complained did not represent our hearts. Thus, it will be curious to see, in concert, how her minimalistic, mystic sound pastels like an oil painting of Heaven.
