Rachael Denny lets Twilight and Dawn glow with folk magic and Oregon air

Rachael Denny’s Twilight and Dawn lands on 28 June with the kind of title that sounds like it already knows the correct listening conditions: open window, late light, maybe a kettle muttering in the background. Denny describes the album as a collection of original songs and compositions, many celebrating the wonders of nature with a touch of magic and mystery. That is a gentle mission, but not a small one. Folk music has always been good at making landscapes emotional, and here the instrumentation keeps the frame intimate: Denny on guitar and vocals, Kathy Burleson on mandolin, and recording, mixing and mastering by Ralph Slim Novak at Royal Sound Studios in Eugene, Oregon. Twilight and Dawn sounds like an album about thresholds: between night and morning, real and enchanted, memory and weather. It is acoustic music that asks the listener to slow down enough for the small spell to work.
