Heather Findlay has a new album out. I’ve reviewed the album in a lot more detail for Trebuchet Magazine, but I haven’t mentioned it here.
I was initially disappointed when I learned that it was “only” an acoustic record with no new songs, but rapidly changed my mind on listening to the album. Although the instrumentation is completely different, it’s got that same warm, intimate vibe as Odin Dragonfly’s beautiful “Offerings”. I even find I much prefer the re-recorded versions of the three songs that first appeared on “The Phoenix Suite” to the originals, with “Seven” a particular highlight.
Discussing the album with fellow Mostly Autumn fans in Belgium and Holland last weekend, there’s a widespread feeling that this is the best record she’s made since going solo. Indeed, quite a few people who never really warmed to “The Phoenix Suite” love this new album.
It’s available for order from heatherfindlay.co.uk
