| ô The Clover still grows, round the meadow though it snowsö - |
| Clover |
| |
| The triumphs upon choosing a life in music are few and far |
| between. And as many know, finding your own unique and |
| compelling voice is almost as rare as finding a four leaf |
| clover. |
| |
| Thankfully, though through heart ache and iron fists, one of the |
| æshining jewels in the crown of Canadian songwritersÆ [CBC], has |
| discovered her voice and an intriguing marriage of old and new. |
| Built with heavy orchestration, darker organ pads, layered |
| harmonies and sonic space - Clover presents a startlingly |
| drastic, yet unified, musical shift for Jadea Kelly in 2013 - a |
| unique union of Iris De MentÆs vocal ache with heavy Portishead |
| ambience and percussion. |
| |
| In 2010, Jadea released Eastbound Platform, an independent |
| release produced by David Baxter. Jadea was later nominated for |
| new emerging artist by the Canadian Folk Music Awards which led |
| to appearances on Stuart McLeanÆs Vinyl CafΘ, Canadian festival |
| performances, European house concert tours and even a CBC |
| recorded performance at the Stewart Park Folk Festival in 2010. |
| Jadea is known most prominently for her vocal work and |
| recordings with Canadian folk artist Catherine MacLellan |
| [Silhouette 2010] and even Canadian metal band Protest the Hero |
| [Kezia 2005 / Scurillous 2011]. |
| |
| Clover was recorded at the Woodshed Studio in Toronto and |
| produced by Stew Crookes, known for his work with Hawksley |
| Workman, Doug Paisley and One Hundred Dollars - which was |
| recorded on analog 2 inch tape. |
| |
| ôFor a majority of the band - including myself - this was the |
| first time in our recording history that we had tracked without |
| the trance of a glowing computer screenö says Jadea. ôInstead |
| of judging a song based on how it appears and physically looks |
| on screen, we closed our eyes and chose a take on how it feltö. |
| |
| It has been three years since Jadea has released a recording. |
| This is partially due to exhaustion, but also because of heavy |
| touring. In 2012 Jadea finally left the road due to exhaustion, |
| moved into the rented room of a Toronto home and grew her first |
| ever garden. Solace, peace and reflection came while Jadea |
| rested and towed the soil - as did 30-40 acoustic demo |
| recordings. These demos were completely stripped down and |
| quickly circulated throughout the musical community. |
| |
| CrookesÆ took note of the emotive, angelic vulnerability of |
| these demos and was able to produce and lure the core strength |
| and determination we now hear in JadeaÆs voice. With the help of |
| such Toronto players as Jason Sniderman [Blue Peter], Tom Juhas |
| [Ride the Tiger / Friendly Rich], Nigel Hebblewhite [Run with |
| the Kittens] and Gary Craig [Blackie and the Rodeo Kings], |
| CrookesÆ was able to weave a unique assortment of ambient |
| guitars, haunting organ pads, synth bass and delayed string |
| arrangements - all to support the rich texture of JadeaÆs voice. |
| |
| Inspired and named after her grand fathers farm in rural |
| Ontario, Clover touches on the interconnected relationship |
| between farming and working as a musician - and her hope to have |
| a life a music. Although raised in suburban Whitby ON, the Kelly |
| family have worked and sacrificed on this land for three |
| generations - and it is on this farm that Jadea composed a |
| majority of Clover. |
| |
| ô Much like farming, working as a touring musician offers |
| little financial reward - nor does it provide a guaranteed |
| retirement. Despite this, I am fully dedicated. It is my passion |
| and it is stiched into the very fabric of my being. Whether |
| performing in a large hall or sewing a field with seeds, both |
| professions are a calling and a require love of land and love of |
| artö. |
| |
| The album artwork provides an additional visual understanding of |
| Jadea and of Clover. The front and back album panels depict a |
| painted wolf and crow, both decorated with green clover. Both |
| animals, long villainized throughout history, are present within |
| the lyrics on such tracks as ôLone Wolfö and ô IÆll Beö. |
| |
| æLone wolf donÆt hunt like he used to. Sinks his teeth with a |
| jaw looseÆ |
| |
| æDonÆt preach what you donÆt know, IÆll take flight with a black |
| crowÆ |
| |
| These creatures are showcased to highlight their positive |
| attributes, and in turn the positive attributes of Jadea. Rather |
| than a symbol of fear or evil, the wolf has long been regarded |
| within aboriginal folklore as a teacher and / or pathfinder. And |
| the crow, characterized as a symbol of death or omen, was once |
| known for itÆs intelligence, luck and knowledge. All of the |
| images are representations and symbols of the sorrows, |
| obstacles, hope and growth in JadeaÆs personal life this past |
| year. |
| |
| Clover will be released through Divergent Recordings - a new |
| alternative imprint within the True North Records family - and |
| Darth Jadea Music - available worldwide on May 21st 2013. |
| |
| ôIÆm extremely proud of this record and pleased to be surrounded |
| by so much positivity and creativity. I canÆt wait to share it |
| with everyoneö. |
| |
| Jadea Kelly will kick off the release with a small promotional |
| tour in Canada, followed by tours in North America and Europe in |
| the fall / winter of 2013 and 2014. |
