SHIPS BY RELEASE DATE

Artist: Radford, Melanie
Title: For the Sake of Stillness (ETHEREAL SWIRL VINYL)
Genre: Indie & Alternative / Ambient / Drone
Label: Jealous Butcher Records
For the Sake of Stillness, her debut solo album, is an offering of music that asks you to pay attention. Most of the songs are at a walking pace, mimicking the long walks through foreign cities and the observant headspace they come from. Stillness was recorded during and in-between touring, coming together over years as a centering practice and statement of self. An ambient score of natural sounds from these wanderings flows under many of the songs, records of place: the rhythm of footsteps on crisp ground, birdsong, rain falling outside, an impatient car shouldering into distant traffic, the pulse of the ocean, the warm texture of unintelligible and overlapping conversations. These pocket recordings interweaving with the music give an added impression of closeness. We hear the place in the music, and the music is a window into what was felt there. Like an invitation into a daydream, a view into someone's private world.
The music is quiet, dreamy, steady and self-assured. There's a rhythmic heartbeat and little flares of exuberance: touches of magic and awe everywhere. It channels the disparate moments and impressions collected in her tours through the U.S., Europe, Australia, Brazil, and unifies them through the strength of Melanie's artistic personality and perspective.
