The Weighing of the Heart

 The Weighing of the Heart is a startling jolt forward for Schott as an artist, highlighting her charming inability to repeat herself.

 In stark contrast to her previous recordings, The Weighing of the Heart features Schott’s voice as the primary instrument, and taking cues from Arthur Russell (well, she does play the cello too) and Moondog, she weaves the vocals into her subtle, textured instrumentation without ever losing the spacious focus of her storied canon.
