This week’s freebo is a real one, and there’s more after the jump.

JANA HORN s/t LP (No Quarter)

Third album from this wondrous Texas singer-songwriter, with a small voice that fills the space with quiet strength, and instrumentation that matches the soft, candlelit cabin galaxy these tracks are born in, vaguely countrified but mostly a representation of the sounds of a region, refined to a stately point where even the brush strokes on a snare are as big as anything else here. Was just thinking about artists who present a whole, solved-out worldview at first who take it as far as they want that to go; if the approach is as sturdy in the quiet of the first inning, might as well keep going in that direction and corner the market. No big shifts here, maybe the element of surprise gone from Optimism, but that’s OK. Jana’s my Cowboy Junkies, understated and careful, and a go-to for times when I need to settle my accounts with the trials of the day.
