Jacquelyn Roy, a Massachusetts-dwelling singer-songwriter, crafted an utterly engrossing and deeply personal folk record that reaches out directly to your heart.

Composed over the course of a few years while traveling from deserts to mountain ranges and coastal Maine, this album is the sonic journal of the impressions of those disparate landscapes, and how they related to the gradual dissolution of Roy’s relationship at the time. 

With delicate harp-like acoustic fingerpicking, hushed vocals and a stark production, you can truly feel the artist processing her grief and finding comfort in the natural world around her. It almost feels like the sonic equivalent of taking a walk somewhere far from city lights to watch the stars and clear your head. I dare say that listening to this record can be equally cathartic for you as well.

This ethereal and emotional backdrop provides the perfect vehicle for Roy’s poetic lyrics and ear-catching melodies that feel instantly classic, as though they were born out of time. This is an arresting release that would be greatly appreciated by anyone who adores the likes of Mariee Sioux, Meg Baird or Allysen Callery.
