Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist Nora Stanley has released 'Glass', her first full-length solo album, through Worm Records. Stanley has built an impressive career contributing saxophone, flute, and keyboards to work by Cassandra Jenkins, Beth Orton, and The New Pornographers in art pop.
'Glass' places her own songwriting at the centre, moving fluidly between indie folk, art pop, jazz and improvisational music. Piano, guitar, clarinet, flute, and saxophone shape tracks like 'Noble Gas,' 'Red,' 'Catfish' and 'Bonsai.' The writing was inspired by poet Anne Carson's themes of reflection and distance.
