Product Description
Noe Venable's newest release, The Summer Storm Journals, her first in nearly four years, was produced with her longtime collaborator, Todd Sickafoose, and features a stellar case of musicians, from Norah Jones' guitarist, Adam Levy, to avant garde marimba virtuoso, Payton MacDonald.

We Need Such Beauty May 22, 2008
M. Childress (NYC)
I've listened to most of Noe's albums, and this one is my favorite. Her songwriting grows increasingly thought-provoking, emotionally stirring and spiritually resounding. These songs carry a sense of vitality - as if Noe is tapping into some very primordial matters that most of us have rarely explored and yet instantly recognize as deep truths. A great experience.

In a world full of technological noise pollution and over-branded production line pop, Noe Venable stands out as a true musician and poet. "Summer Storm Journals" has an air of magic about it; Noe's harmonies and soft organic instrumentation feel somehow medieval.
There are plenty who will miss the feistiness and jagged edges of Noe's earlier albums. This really is a much more polished, gentle affair - every song is, above all, beautiful to listen to. It's Noe's complexity as a songwriter that saves this from being too sweet, too pretty. Her melodies are incredible, and the harmonies on this album are heartbreaking, especially on the first and last tracks. Also, it's clear that Noe's voice itself has matured beautifully - her voice sounds richer, rounder, more controlled than ever.
The CD itself is a gorgeous object to look at, making this worth purchasing rather than just downloading. I think it's the best thing I've heard in a long time.
Beautiful music December 5, 2007

I was able to listen to "Ice Dragons" and "Prayer for Beauty" months ago on Noe's website, and was blown away by the beauty of the songs. I didn't even realize the album was out! I'm ordering this right away. Noe never disappoints.
