About this product
Manzanita is the common name for a kind of small evergreen tree endemic to California which has strong medicinal properties. It's also the name of the brand new full length by visual artist, writer, songwriter, and musician Shana Cleveland. Subtle, powerful, and unafraid. We can't actually tell you how much we love this record because you'd never believe us, so we'll just say that it is her strongest and most personal album to date.These songs are as strong as the bricks in the Brill building, and seem destined to be covered by others in years to come. Where her previous record, 2019's Night of the Worm Moon (Hardly Art) functions as a collection of speculative fictions equally inspired by Afro-futurist pioneers Herman InchSun RaInch Blount and Octavia Butler, Manzanita concerns the love that loves to love. InchThis is a supernatural love album set in the California wilderness,Inch Cleveland explains.The combinations of words and song structure are so strong throughout that one hardly notices Cleveland's nimble fingerpicking on first listen, or how much is packed into the arrangements. The lyrics are satisfyingly direct, with the buoyantly whimsical descriptions typical of the 1960s New York School of poetry. It's peppered with the kind of unexpected turns that make the words more modern, and in their spookiness they are more West Coast, as in InchMystic Mine,Inch with it's InchMystic Mine Lane, cars rotting away/ I feel so relieved to be/ Back in the country.InchSo much of the pop music we love is propelled by those first blushes of infatuation and lust, but Manzanita concerns the kind of love that one can only experience with time, work, and devotion.

Shana Cleveland has been beguiling listeners for years in her role as the superlative frontwoman for elastic surf rockers La Luz. Now Cleveland is evolving her sound on the new solo full-length Night of the Worm Moon, a serene album that flows like a warm current while simultaneously wresting open a portal to another dimension. As much a work of California sci-fi as Octavia Butler's Parable novels, Night of the Worm Moon incorporates everything from alternate realities to divine celestial bodies. Inspired in part by one of her musical idols, the Afro-futurist visionary Sun Ra (the album's title is a tip of the hat to his 1970 Night of the Purple Moon), the record blends pastoral folk with cosmic concerns. Album Tracks 1. Don't Let Me Sleep 2. Face of the Sun 3. In Another Realm 4. Castle Milk 5. Night of the Worm Moon 6. Invisible When the Sun Leaves 7. The Fireball 8. Solar Creep 9. A New Song 10. I'll Never Know
Details 1. All I Do Is Lie 2. 3D Girl 3. Sweet Sweet Midnight 4. Method Man 5. Trumbull 6. Eyes Without a Face
