Mater Dolorosa

by CrowJane

supported by

Tommy Dog I don’t know if CrowJane will mutate from this space or not. The album stands and a wonderful haunted psalm that’s grand parents might have death rocked before you were born.
Unlike the records from the early 80’s that may have helped inform this Mater Dolorosa will probably age more gracefully as her raw wounds sound close enough to the ear that one can feel her breath as she tells you her secrets

about

Mater Dolorosa, “Our Lady Of Sorrows”, the incarnation of Mary pierced through the heart with seven swords, is a fitting title and matron for the solo debut of Crow Jane.
LA Punk Legend Paul Roessler (Screamers, Nina Hagen, 45 Grave, Deadbeats), after becoming close friends with Crow Jane while recording her band Egrets On Ergot, could see that she was in the grips of the kind of crushing woe that’s so often the seed of hard won transformation.
Suspecting the rewards that awaited if she would risk shining a light on her own murk, Roessler took matters into his own hands, and all but locked her in his studio, Kitten Robot. Surrounding her with every available musical instrument, a pen and some paper, he compelled her to face the rawness of loss, abuse, and addiction.
When the palette of existing tones were no longer a match for the depths they plumbed, they were forced to coax new sounds out of impromptu homemade instruments - bed frames, kitty litter, crumpling foil, containers of water and whatever else was around.
Together they hacked through tangles of psychic resistance and dredged toxic marshes for sunken personal horrors. One by one, using fresh alchemy invented on the cuff, they opened old wounds and from them extracted Mater Dolorosa’s 10 eerie pearls. The path they carved together led through a twisted maze, the obstacles so frequently daunting that the project took years.
