Park Slope's Nerissa Campbell: Jazzy Musings of a Telescopic Tree

Nerissa Campbell, an indie-jazz singer- songwriter originally from Perth, Australia has been lving in Brooklyn, (Park Slope/Prospect Heights) for over seven years.

She is set to release a new album next week. Check it out: there are a few tracks on her website at www.crookedmouthmusic.com.

Musings of a Telescopic Tree is described on the website as "an album of moodiness and of melancholy - stories of desire and the sorrows of losing loved things, the weight of depression and the lightness of being. The indie-jazz singer-songwriter ponders a new approach to her music, - its roots in jazz, it also ponders its way through somber pop-ballads, bluesy folk songs, moody instrumentals and a lyricism full of thought and space."

"Her songs roil in the smoke of forgotten bars and express a love of many styles and thoughts. Campbell composed these songs in her home of Brooklyn, NY as well on travels across Europe, Australia and North America. Drawn largely on her own life stories and from the tales of the characters from those adventures, her songs are a manuscript of insights to self and the world around her."

There's an album release gig  on January 15th at the 55 Bar in Manhattan.
