----------------------------------------
Hailed as "the future Lucinda Williams of the West" (Bandcamp Daily), Margo Cilker writes country-classic songs that hum with ancestry and expanse, turning grief — both personal and collective — into something restorative. Cilker, a fifth generation Californian, is now based in the Pacific Northwest and making music rooted in a deep reverence for the land and those who came before. The release of her stunning 2021 debut Pohorylle saw Rolling Stone proclaim, "Cilker shows that she is as interested in reinvigorating Southern country-folk storytelling tropes as she is in exposing their flaws," and Pitchfork deemed her a "country artist who pushes against conventions of the genre." Her highly acclaimed sophomore record Valley of Heart's Delight landed on Best Albums of 2023 lists across the U.S. and UK, with NPR Music praising: "Cilker's sound is classic cowboy country, but her sensibility is totally now." As she readies her next project, Cilker draws on the deep tradition of Texas singer-songwriters, having traveled to Lockhart to record with Bruce Robison — the writer and producer behind work by Charley Crockett, Lee Ann Womack, George Strait, and The Chicks.
