Charming Hostess -- The Bowls Project (Tzadik)
>>The Bowls Project is an ecstatic investigation into sex, magic and secret desires in the Babylonian Jewish women’s amulets known as demon bowls. Demon bowl inscriptions are about secrets of the home: love and sensuality; angels and demons; and the trials and joys of daily life. The Bowls Project explores the opens up a conversation between these ancient amulet texts and American traditional music with the same preoccupations, inhabiting a space we call "the apocalyptic intimate."<<
>>sings of mysticism and magic, angels and demons, and the trials and joys of love and sex. It is based on inscriptions from ancient Babylonian Jewish amulets. Especially audible are the voices of Talmudic-era women: their work, hopes and dreams. Weaving together Babylonian devotional songs, apocalyptic American folk music and a radical take on ritual power, The Bowls Project marks the deepest and most creative work by Charming Hostess yet.<<
