Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following a prolonged period of nomadic travel and working as a seasonal park ranger, the Buffalo-born songwriter translates her transient lifestyle into a breathtakingly serene sophomore album. The arrangements rely almost exclusively on delicate acoustic fingerpicking, subtle synthesizer flourishes, and her ethereal, whispered vocal delivery. It is a profoundly peaceful meditation on natural landscapes and finding stillness within motion.
