about

Visions of Ovid is an album by folk artist Brandon De La Cruz, in whose songs the spirits of Greek myth find new bodies. These spirits tell a range of tales. In the first song Tiresias laments the psychic strife arising through a reckoning of life as a woman who once was a man who is a man again. In another Alcmene depicts the sacrifice of her nurse Galanthis who outwits Lucina, the goddess of birth, to permit the birth of Hercules. The metamorphic thread unifying these songs is the same that joins Ovid’s tellings — through trials often culminating in loss and confusion, spirits transform to find new life in a shifting world.
