Tamara Sussman played and recorded with Bertha Mason in Buffalo, NY. Collectively, The Spirit Girls combine their own peculiar influences to produce an album that is haunting, surreal and beautifully hopeful. The Spirit Girls journey by airstream trailer through a time and world that is unlike one we have known. Drownings, tragic storms, and wicked hobo clowns are juxtaposed with soft lambs, comforting bears and happy pigs who help the girls find spiritual enlightenment.Their story culminates in a bizarre small town fair where they perform their music in a traditional tent revival. There, they find their voice, raise the spirits of the dead and gain their ultimate emancipation.
