Saints and Aliens by Sis and the Lower Wisdom celebrates the bliss and strangeness of lived life on a planet hanging out in space. What started as a series of solo homespun sonic experiments bloomed more fully in collaboration with a larger group of LA-based musicians, prompting the birth of the collective name the Lower Wisdom. Taken from the Gnostic concept of divine wisdom falling from a higher sphere to the lower realms in order to experience itself in materiality, the name expresses how music can be a vessel for spirit to stumble, shimmer, and find form. Culled from two years of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jenny Gillespie Mason's writing and recording processes, then sharpening in collaboration with the producer and bassist Dougie Stu, the album begins with more direct, intimate songs such as "Crocus Man" and "Wolf Child", speaking to the pure magic of the saints and aliens among our beloveds. Midway through, the album drifts outward into widescreen meditations ("Yoga of the Soul's Release," "Luce") on the soul’s emergence from behind the veil of the outer self. The sound exists in a messy, luminous space between improvisational jazz and Mason's longtime love of catchy pop. Out 1/9/26 on Native Cat Recordings.
