The name Jena Malone is familiar. And, yes, she is “that” Jena Malone. But none of that matters, because “Barstow” is a dissonant piece of melancholia that calls to mind Meredith Monk or Imogen Heap- stunning layers of vocals, processed into despair, and it’s just plain chilling. A gorgeous piece of work, and an amazing way to reintroduce the world to Jena Malone.
“Barstow” is the first song off the upcoming and brilliantly named Flowers For Men, May 8th. She’s also hitting the road, and tickets are available here.
