Josephine Foster And the Supposed - All The Leaves Are Gone

Originally released in 2004, ‘All the Leaves are Gone’ brings Josephine Foster’s operatic roots together with Brian Goodman’s wild, unpredictable guitar playing. Comparisons have ranged from Fairport Convention and Shirley Collins to Mellow Candle and Trees, but the record follows its own strange course. Foster’s songs move between unease, fiery intensity and gentler passages, while Goodman’s unusual tunings and molten guitar work push the music further from conventional folk-rock. A singular, dramatic song cycle that sounds as peculiar now as it did on release.
