Lose yourself in wild, tender songs that explore personal upheaval, and the bold freedom that lies beyond releasing the old. This song includes the most piano based songs of any of Noe's albums. Intricate, atmospheric, chamber folk arrangements featuring violin, cello, trumpet, upright bass, and marimba.
Summer Storm Journals was released in 2009.
What They Said:
"This album saved my life." - A Listener
"The world… that Noe Venable creates and inhabits in her songs are wondrous… The artist uses some elements of jazz in this record, but in a mystical, even medieval kind of way. Always painting, never grooving or riffing in more normal ways. Scapes of many shapes… This is an outstanding work." - Puremusic.com
