Inspired by her encounter with author NK Jemisin\u2019s Broken Earth trilogy, Lafawndah both pays homage to and extends further the elemental, emotionally charged myths of Jemisin\u2019s books. These are stories where a broken heart can tear apart a continent. In contrast to the precision- tuned industrial productions of Ancestor Boy, The Fifth Season breathes a different kind of volatility. Inviting a new degree of spontaneity and freedom into her process, Lafawndah\u2019s collaborators &#8211; Theon Cross (tuba), Nathaniel Cross (trombone), Valentina Magaletti (percussions), and Nick Weiss (keyboards) &#8211; encircle her confrontational character studies with iridescent, cinematic chamber-bass moves. These are torch songs for when it rains ash, creation ballads for when the earth turns inside out. Ghosts of Art Ensemble of Chicago and Rahsaan Roland Kirk color the air, yet Lafawndah\u2019s mastery of pop songcraft, vocal production and razor-honed clarity of purpose cut through. In addition to the Lafawndah originals, The Fifth Season features interpretations of hybrid-folk godfather Beverly Glenn Copeland\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Despair\u201d and acid-impressionist prodigy Lili Boulanger\u2019s \u201cOld Buddhist Prayer.\u201d Album highlight \u201cYou, at the End\u201d deploys a poem by poet-performer Kae Tempest to aching, rift-tearing ends, and french dream-trap wraith Lala &#038;ce features on \u201cLe Malentendu\u201d. The Fifth Season anchors Lafawndah as a descendent of forebearers Brigitte Fontaine and Scott Walker &#8211; a born theatric whose acid humor warps the sub-continental undertow of her emotive storytelling. Lafawndah\u2019s elementalism on The Fifth Season finds her imagination more agile than ever, and recent live shows have evinced a drive to push these compositions further out, deeper, and more aflame.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":594204,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[12362],"product_tag":[],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[34529],"musiclabel":[5228],"musicstyle":[37890,37897,37937],"distributormusic":[10832],"musicyear":[],"musiccountry":[39485],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-594203","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-out-of-stock","7":"musicartist-lafawndah","8":"musiclabel-latency","9":"musicstyle-ambient","10":"musicstyle-beats","11":"musicstyle-experimental","12":"distributormusic-honest-jons","13":"musiccountry-france","15":"first","16":"outofstock","17":"featured","18":"taxable","19":"shipping-taxable","20":"purchasable","21":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/594203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=594203"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=594203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
