BLOOD TEST

Kris Delmhorst's new release BLOOD TEST describes a moment of reckoning and centering in the songwriter's life, and in society as a whole. In her new collection, Delmhorst acknowledges the weary work of an intentioned life - and the new American dream of presence and perspective in a frenetic time. BLOOD TEST is Delmhorst's first album of original material since 2008's SHOTGUN SINGER. The intervening years witnessed the birth of her daughter with husband and fellow songwriter Jeffrey Foucault, and an accompanying shift in perspective.??BLOOD TEST's fresh perspective was realized sonically by Delmhorst turning to a totally new collaborator - friend and fellow songwriter Anders Parker (Varnaline, Gob Iron, New Multitudes). Parker brought two band members to Delmhorst: drummer Konrad Meissner (Brandi Carlile, The Silos) and multi-instrumentalist Mark Spencer (Blood Oranges, Lisa Loeb, Laura Cantrell, Son Volt). And together, the four shaped BLOOD TEST's landscape.
