Mary Halvorson Makes The List At The Quietus
The Quietus has Mary Halvorson‘s Cloudward on its list of best 2024 albums so far. In its review, the site said the album is “probably the first where she sounds fully immersed in her band Amaryllis, which she originally composed music for in 2020 during the pandemic. Now, she finds herself still writing for the band, and the results are rich and increasingly organic-sounding. With the album a means to articulate the process of her band re-emerging after the pandemic, the cadence of the record seems to replicate the sound of the city’s life gradually blossoming out into the streets.” Read the full list here; Cloudward is at radio now from Nonesuch and earlier this year topped the charts at NACC Jazz and Earshot Jazz.
