(2020) Kass Richards - The Language Shadow
Review:
Earlier this year, Boston songwriter Kass Richards assisted U.S. Girls mastermind Meghan Remy in completing Heavy Light. Now, Richards is striking out on her own with a debut solo album titled, The Language Shadow, through Good Cry Records. Although a project all her own, Richards recorded her new LP with a few of her Heavy Light associates, including engineer Shae Brossard and fellow musician and co-producer Basia Bulat. The Language Shadow also features additional guitar arrangements provided by Tim Kingsbury of Arcade Fire and mellotron from U.S. Girls collaborator Geordie Gordon. The forthcoming effort’s 10 tracks are said to convey “timeless honesty” and are “gifts that seek to be shared in mournful times.” Much of it is heavily influenced by Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley area — where Richards is from originally — and its long tradition of Appalachian folk music.
