This collection of sonic fragments is bliss in liminal states, like the one I experienced while being unwillingly held awake by an active house. Looking over the hills in San Rafael, hearing Rena's precise and gentle production, the swells of strings breaking across staccato cymbal rolls, bass lines to realign my grumpy morning kundalini. . . . You can hear echoes of Evan in this album, echoes that reverberate from a beautiful soul who encapsulates the ebb of the tide, offering up such delectable flotsam as I have never heard. I heard this from an advance copy she'd given a friend on the playa, and I'm on my way to snag this disc as I write. Plus, the poem by a poet I believe is named Phidelity that lines the CD notes - brilliant, and a perfect counterpoint to a remarkable issuance. If I may say one more word - PICCADILLY! - ° klay ° , posted 09/14/06 |

Native State Records is extremely proud to present: Rena Jones - 'Driftwood' LP ‘Driftwood’ is the brand new full length album by seasoned studio musician and performer Rena Jones. It is an album of complex emotional depth, instrumental mastery, and tender attention to detail. Imbued with a sense of feminine grace, this album moves through textured and layered realms to pieces of touching mystery. Rena Jones is an anomaly in modern electronic music. She writes, performes, produces, programs, and plays virtuosic strings all by herself. In a music scene dominated by men, she has proven herself to be more capable and more original than her contemporaries. Not content to be an addition or continuation of anyone else’s work, she has created a modern electronic statement which is entirely unique. Her work is sophisticated, delicate, touching, and personal. The music connects to people instantly in an emotional way, and allows them the freedom for an experience of depth as they journey through the worlds she has created.
