Asher White is taking her admiration of Jessica Pratt to the next level; she just released a full-album cover of the singer-songwriter\u2019s 2012 self-titled debut \u2014 much to Pratt\u2019s appreciation. \u201cWhite\u2019s curiously inventive renditions took me by surprise,\u201d Pratt said in a press release. \u201cA broad sweep stylistically and production-wise. Not just homage, but a record in its own right.\u201d The album arrives with news of a tour for White, too. Check out her full list of tour dates and listen to the cover album below.<\/p>\n

Although all songs on Jessica Pratt<\/em> 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 \u201cCasper,\u201d and Lila Lifton on violin during \u201cMidnight Wheels.\u201d The covers LP follows her 2025 album 8 Tips for Full Catastrophe Living<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Near the end of 2021, White discovered Jessica Pratt\u2019s debut album \u201con the cusp of my 21st birthday\u201d and fell in love. \u201cAt some point it became one of those records I\u2019d listened to so many times that I would find myself unconsciously singing phantom harmonies alongside it, or hearing arrangements that didn\u2019t 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,\u201d\u00a0said White. \u201cThis is to say: my ability to hastily fashion together a working album from these songs is a testament to the music\u2019s enduring power, its durability and pliability, its simplicity and sense of inevitability, and also just how much it has meant to me in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

This May, White will head out on a headlining tour of the west coast; she plans to stop in San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and other cities. But first, White will perform in Brooklyn on April 28.<\/p>\n
