Amelia Courthouse - Broken Things

On her first album since ruby glass (SPINSTER, 2019), sound artist and composer Amelia Courthouse (aka Leah Toth) builds on her previous album’s textures, moods, and evocations of memory, adding bold new colors to construct her singular “hymnambient” music. Broken Things again finds Courthouse constructing modernist hymns on piano, organ, and synthesizer, buttressing them with field recordings, room tone, and even the snores of her beloved dog to complete her intimate and evocative compositions.
