Biography
On his new record Glossolalia, Jordan Klassen has reimagined himself as a lyrical poet, as much as a musician. To those that are not steeped in the intricacies of the English language and religious practices, “glossolalia” is the phenomenon of speaking in an unknown language, more commonly called ‘speaking in tongues’. Throughout the record’s ten tracks, Klassen evokes early modern American poets such as T.S. Eliot and Robert Frost. Glossolalia is classic and essential Jordan Klassen: ethereal, dreamy, mystical, and reminiscent of times gone by and the folk singers of yore. This album is a lyrical essay, with each song like a chapter in a personal journal. Lead single Milk and Honey is a modern folk composition that explores the gap between the shadow and the light side of waiting. Rather than becoming paralyzed by our desire for perfection, Carried Away is an exploration of what it’s like to jump into something with abandon, whether that takes one down dark pathways of the mind into mental illness and addiction, or being swept up by something that is good and right, like a greater cause, or falling in love. Glossolalia takes a satirical look at the conspiracy thinkers, who have certainly experienced a resurgence in numbers lately, with the track Niko. He begs the imaginary ‘Niko’ not to “go down this dark road”, perhaps knowing that individual’s tendency to get “carried away” by such things. Glossolalia is available April 8th, 2022
