The Order of Time by Valerie June
The Order of Time is an album by Valerie June, released in 2017. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Astral Plane”, on 11 lists with a best position of #42.
The Order of Time, Valerie June's fourth full-length album, arrived on March 10, 2017, as the follow-up to Pushin' Against a Stone, with Matt Marinelli producing. June has always been a hard artist to file, a multi-instrumentalist who pulls from Appalachian music, bluegrass, country soul, blues and psychedelic folk, and whose southern roots keep tugging at the East Coast life she made for herself later. This record lets all of it drift together into one hazy, unhurried whole.
"Astral Plane" and "Shakedown" led the way as singles, and they mark out the album's range: the first floats off into a cosmic shimmer, the second kicks up dust with a rattling, back-porch stomp. Critics took to it warmly, and it landed on several of the year's best-of lists.
