We get emails asking if we're still taking on projects because we rarely post on social media. Yes, we are.

The Austin native Jess Williamson’s particular strain of folk is at once earthy and gothic, often seeming haunted by some invisible, vaguely tortured presence. Her debut full-length Native State is only seven songs long, but it unfolds at an unhurried pace that makes it feel expansive.
