Following last year’s Sum Variations EP, Josephine Foster has announced the May 1 release of Adormidera, a co-release by Seattle-based Eiderdown Records and Irish experimental music label Nyahh. All seven songs on the record were written by Spanish composer Víctor Herrero, who selected from his back catalog – three from 2020's Hermana and four from 2013’s Estampida – and accompanies Foster on classical guitar.

The two have a long history of working together, recording two Spanish-language albums as Josephine Foster and the Víctor Herrero Band, and another with Mendrugo, a trio they formed with Herrero's brother.

Adormidera (Josephine Foster Sings the Songs of Víctor Herrero) is out on May 1. Pre-order here. Tracklist below:

1. Adormidera
2. Añil
3. Avellaneda
4. Communion
5. Hermana
6. Jilguero
7. La Mancha

She had previously worked on the Norwegian director's 2021 film, The World to Come, performing and co-writing the end credits song with composer Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist, The Testament of Ann Lee).
