"Asher White is taking her admiration of Jessica Pratt to the next level; she just released a full-album cover of the singer-songwriter's 2012 self-titled debut - much to Pratt's appreciation. "White's curiously inventive renditions took me by surprise," Pratt said in a press release. "A broad sweep stylistically and production-wise. Not just homage, but a record in its own right.""
""At some point it became one of those records I'd listened to so many times that I would find myself unconsciously singing phantom harmonies alongside it, or hearing arrangements that didn't exist; eventually the specter of these imagined arrangements became substantive enough that I decided it would be a fun exercise to try and learn the whole record to actualize my fantasies," said White."
"Although all songs on Jessica Pratt were written by Pratt, of course, White puts her own distinct spin on each one while juggling over a dozen different instruments, handling vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, banjo, bass, drums, electronics, percussion, prepared piano, string arrangements, synths, and programming. White is joined by Bee Clark on vocals during "Casper," and Lila Lifton on violin during "Midnight Wheels." The covers LP follows her 2025 album 8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living."
Asher White released a full-album cover of Jessica Pratt's 2012 self-titled debut and announced a west-coast headlining tour including San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle. Jessica Pratt praised White's inventive, stylistic reinterpretations, calling the record more than homage. White performed or programmed over a dozen instruments on the covers LP and enlisted Bee Clark (vocals on "Casper") and Lila Lifton (violin on "Midnight Wheels"). White said she discovered the original near her twenty-first birthday, imagined alternate arrangements, and then learned the entire record to realize those ideas. The covers follow White's 2025 album 8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living.
