Exodus of Venus

Elizabeth Cook's 6th Studio Album - produced by Dexter Green and features a guest performance by Patty Loveless. Elizabeth Cook didn't quite know what she was doing. But she knew there were songs, and they had to get out. Six even years since her critically-acclaimed Welder, as well as much personal tumult, there were songs that needed to be born. From Dexter Green's (also the album's producer) opening electric guitar, equal parts foreboding and fraught, "Exodus of Venus" hurls a churlish witness to erotic upheaval and the drives that subsume our best notions. "Exodus" is an exhortation of sexual surrender that pushes past the brink of reason.
