Description
Sun Midnight Sun is the sophomore solo album by the American singer, songwriter, and fiddler Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek fame, released on Nonesuch Records in May 2012. The album was produced by Blake Mills.
Sara Watkins sings with honeyed voice and weathered fiddle on her second superb solo release. The distorted reverb that leaps from her bow in the collection’s opening notes signals that this, like the music of Nickel Creek that launched her career, isn’t bluegrass but something related: an indie-pop hybrid built on rich Americana tradition and instrumentation. There’s a subtle electric growl that burns beneath Sun Midnight Sun as lyrics trace a relational arc. Love rises and falls, raising soul-searching questions about its nature. And the closing hymn «Take Up Your Spade» invokes forgiveness and leaves an earthy and moving welcome to “Give thanks for all that you’ve been given / Give thanks for who you can become.” [Jeremy V. Jones, CT, May 2012]
