Title:	Born Heller
Label:	BO WEAVIL RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	LP
Price:	$29.00
Catalog #:	WEAVIL 017LP

Originally released in 2007. Limited LP version of this album, previously released on CD by Locust. Numbered edition of 550. Born Heller is the folk duo of Josephine Foster and Jason Ajemian. They beautifully capture the traditions of both American and English folk, with Josephine's hushed, fragile vocals accompanied by sparse melodic guitar lines and Jason's resonant bass sounds. Ajemian plays in groups like Triage, Dragons 1976, and with reedist Matt Bauder. Foster may be familiar to record buyers for her own solo recordings and with The Supposed, her psych-rock outlet. Born Heller is music that needs to be intently listened to -- on each listening, more and more is unearthed.

Josephine Foster: (harp, mandolin, guitar); Jason Ajemian: (stand up bass). Born Heller are the earthen folk duo of Josephine Foster (Children's Hour) & Jason Ajemian and one of the better kept secrets to emerge out of Chicago's clandestine campfires and music dens. Their sound captures an Appalachian- transatlantic folk tradition so effortlessly that if it didn't already exist, they would have had to invent it themselves. Foster's spine tingling vocal delivery has been rightly compared to the likes of British folk legend and current hipster fave, Shirley Collins. On their debut, that voice is finally given full justice by the spare rhythmic arrangements of Ajemian on strings. Recorded by Paul Oldham in Louisville Kentucky."
