ANNOUNCING: We are so incredibly excited to welcome violist Jessica Pavone to the OOYH Records family, as we announce the pre-order for her forthcoming album Clamor (OOYH 023), out October 6, 2023 on LP + CD (both limited 500) + Digital! You can order the album, and check out the first streaming track 'Nu Shu (part 1)' via the link below.

We're loving the colorful cover + single art for this one, in one of @exhumist super cool drawing styles. It's going to look amazing LP sized! More about Clamor from the press release:

Through her signature indeterminate and fluid style, Clamor reimagines the idea of “womens’ work,'' using women-made inventions as a starting point to craft powerful music.

"Nu Shu" part 1 and 2 honors the secret language created and used exclusively by Chinese women forbidden to go to school like their brothers. The two-part piece features Young as an improvising soloist in dialogue with the ensemble, attending to her talent for improvising within a collaborative context. As a composer and sound artist Young has developed a unique language for bassoon, and the movements she's featured on have built-in moments of gently structured spontaneity that attend to her original voice.

Clamor features Jessica Pavone, with Katherine Young - bassoon, Aimée Niemann + Charlote Munn-Wood - violin, Abby Swidler - viola, Mariel Roberts - cello, and Shayna Dulberger - double bass.

"[Pavone's] compositions are wholly absorbing, sinking the listener into a nebulous pool of sound." - Jonathan Williger, Pitchfork

"She's been on a tear in recent years, both with solo recordings and chamber string groups." - Peter Margasak, The Quietus
