Growing up in the relative quiet of the
Maine countryside while learning a range
of instruments and being sung to sleep
by her parents playing folk songs,
natural and rural sounds became central
to HeatherÆs sense of song, falling into
a deeply personal realm.
The subtlety and nuance in HeatherÆs
music also comes from her inclination
towards ambient and experimental sounds,
conjuring atmosphere equally with the
striking melodies at the core of her
songs. ItÆs also allowed for three
gorgeous instrumentals to flow
seamlessly alongside HeatherÆ's songs on
this album.
The songs on From the Ground hang then
blossom, unfurling slowly to reveal
disarming feelings through her spirited
soul of a voice gliding above the
swirling beauty of her music. Rich and
resonant, thereÆs a veritable ensemble
of instruments at play, including piano,
guitar, celeste, flute, glockenspiel,
mandolin and more.
Lending his intuitive sensibility to
From the Ground is HeatherÆs brother
Peter Broderick, who has already gained
great notice in his short career for
works of similar scope. Peter recorded
and mixed the album as well as playing
throughout. Much of the album was made
while the pair toured with Danish group
Efterklang over several months. They
also comprise two-thirds of Kill Rock
Stars group Horse Feathers. Heather has
also performed or recorded with the
likes of Blitzen Trapper and M Ward.
