Penelope Joy & Jasper TX
Waverly Cemetery (Sydney)

...according to our Brett on 14 January 2010.

Also on Sound and Fury is a wee tapey by Penelope Joy and the popular hitmaker Jasper TX. Musically it's pure Jasper TX, mind, the fifteen minute piece being inspired by the Penelope Joy poem printed on the inlay and entitled 'Waverly Cemetery (Sydney)'. As you might expect from the textural physicality of the source material (all bones, stones and body bits) it doesn't begin as the cheeriest listen in the world, but the slow-building funereal drone gradually gives way to piano which offers welcome traces of hope and redemption. A fine complement to the words and I can imagine getting well into it all in the right mood.
