New York musician Joey Fasolino, recording as K Abby Jasper, turns a difficult period of his life into the absorbing track ‘Separate the Sage’.
Written while he was struggling with mounting pressures and a growing disconnect from his surroundings, the song considers how personal and spiritual development can survive amid the demands of contemporary life. Its title adds an imaginative twist, conjuring the idea of using magic against the relentless machinery of the modern economy.
The singer-songwriter handled virtually the entire recording himself, taking responsibility for writing, performing, recording and mixing. The result reflects his wonderfully unpredictable approach, where acoustic instrumentation can drift into ambient experimentation, electronic textures and shadowy indie-folk.
Introspective and intriguingly unconventional, ‘Separate the Sage’ finds K Abby Jasper creating beauty from a period of considerable tension.
