Jane Sheldon - flowermuscle CD

Once again working with Rainer Maria Rilke’s poetry, singer/composer Jane Sheldon explores a lush sonic space that feels both powerful and delicate, bringing the tools of the avant-garde to explore the sensuality of transcendent experience.

Working closely with Australian audio whiz Bob Scott, flowermuscle's songs are colourful and diverse, in stark contrast to the super restrained palette of her last album (2022's I am a tree, I am a mouth). "I am a tree… lived in the privacy of those experiences," Sheldon says, "but flowermuscle is much more about their vastness, about the possibility of feeling that you’re in erotic resonance with everything else in nature."

"The realm of flowermuscle is this gorgeous plane of sensual receptivity," says Sheldon. "A gently disorienting ecstasy."
