Hello, Voyager

Building on the strength of her Evangelista album and working again with the pool of artists who appeared on that album, including organist Nadia Moss, multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily and bassist Tara Barnes, Carla Bozulich inaugurated Evangelista as a full new effort with the 2007 release Hello, Voyager. It’s another gripping collection of striking, often harrowing compositions, Bozulich’s lyrics and poetry often matched by her stark snarl on guitar, while the range from the title track’s explosive sprawl to “The Blue Room”’s sweet beauty is remarkable.
