{"product_id":"kathryn-mohr-carve","title":"Kathryn Mohr - Carve","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarve is the second full-length by Bay Area artist Kathryn Mohr.\u003cbr\u003eWritten over the course of five years and recorded over several weeks in a rural singlewide in the Mojave Desert, the album centres on love experienced as a form of grief, not as an aftermath of loss, but as a condition of intimacy itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMohr describes Carve as an album about how memory exists outside the body, embedded in places and landscapes.\u003cbr\u003eIt is shaped by her first return to the American Southwest since a childhood road trip at age five, and by the experience of moving through terrain that holds emotional weight long after its origins fade.\u003cbr\u003eThe record considers how intimacy feels after years of isolation, and what it takes to carve out a life that allows for trust, presence, and feeling rather than mere survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe project took form after a difficult tour that ended in Joshua Tree.\u003cbr\u003eMohr pointed her car into the desert and drove alone, crisscrossing the Mojave on dirt roads.\u003cbr\u003eMonths later, she returned to record the album, working alone with an acoustic guitar, a field recorder, and limited supplies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing that period, Mohr began to allow for intimacy and connection.\u003cbr\u003eThe time she spent recording Carve in the desert did not create isolation so much as mirror it.\u003cbr\u003eWorking alone out of an old, western-themed jail Airbnb, the physical enclosure reflected the emotional conditions under which much of the record had been written: distance, restraint, and long stretches of stillness.\u003cbr\u003eIn that context, love was not experienced as escape, but as something inseparable from impermanence and the awareness of loss.\u003cbr\u003eThis tension between connection and inevitability sits at the centre of Carve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the album’s songs were written earlier, during a prolonged period marked by emotional distance and apathy.\u003cbr\u003eOver those four years, Mohr was working through unprocessed childhood memories and their long-term effects on her ability to connect with others.\u003cbr\u003eThe work was slow and difficult, involving a fundamental reshaping of how she related to herself and to the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarve was mixed by Richard Chowenhill of Flenser labelmates Agriculture.\u003cbr\u003eRather than offering resolution, the album documents the act of remaining present within tension.\u003cbr\u003eCarve is not about escaping grief, but about accepting it as inseparable from love itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FLENSER","offers":[{"title":"Indies Limited Edition Seaweed Green Vinyl","offer_id":53497046073671,"sku":"TRI-71638","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Standard Black Vinyl","offer_id":53497047089479,"sku":"TRI-71639","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":53497047843143,"sku":"TRI-71640","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":53497048432967,"sku":"TRI-71641","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/596bd5b436693015b36e7772bf108378.jpg?v=1774622440","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/kathryn-mohr-carve","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
