This album was written, performed, recorded and produced by myself on my phone during the fall of 2014 while heavily pregnant, barely able to breathe or sing.
As the annual, seasonal transformation into death occurs in the late autumn, nature matures, shines, and the sun turns everything into burnished gold.
Thematically, the first song depicts the woods on a dark fall night in the Annapolis Valley at the tragic end of a relationship, while the second song depicts dancing by the Bay of Fundy on a bright, sunny, early fall day. The last song, based on the Robert Frost poem titled, October, depicts the feeling of sitting in a kitchen in the late fall, right before winter comes, wood crackling in the stove, kettle boiling, herbs hanging from the ceiling, babies underfoot.
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
