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.
