Featuring complex reimaginings of previously released material, this project highlights the intricate arrangements of her acclaimed touring ensemble. The focal point is 'Colleen', an enchanting, previously unreleased sea shanty that perfectly highlights her virtuosic harp playing and complex storytelling. It serves as a beautiful, organic companion to the sweeping orchestral grandeur of her masterpiece 'Ys'.
