Heather Nova - Breath & Air [LP Solid Orange Vinyl]

In February 2025 Heather Nova releases her 13th album ''Breath and Air'' on V2 Records. It's a collection of evocative songs that are rich in melody lyric and arrangement with Heather's signature vocal as strong and ethereal as ever. The album enfolds you in a timeless atmosphere; Inviting you to forget everything for a moment while simultaneously coming home to yourself. ''As I get older I notice I have repeated patterns my whole life even the ones that don't serve me: Thought patterns relationship patterns... We repeat the cycles until we truly learn what our core wounds are and how to heal them. Songwriting in itself is a search for meaning and clarity about ourselves and the world we inhabit.'' Heather wrote the songs on ''Breath and Air'' over the past 2 years and spent 4 weeks in the Devon countryside (UK) holed up in an enchanting studio with Chris Bond (Ben Howard) putting down the tracks. ''It was mostly just the 2 of us with Midori Jaeger coming down from London for a few days to play her beautiful cello. Out the window was a field. I would watch the light change there throughout the day. There was a rare albino pheasant that would come and go. I took it as a good sign!'' Breath and Air Ebbs and Flows Butterflies and Moths: these are some of the titles of the songs: ''The duality of nature and of being alive is something I explore in my songs. Two things can be true at the same time - that's something I came to realise as I got older. Accepting and balancing this duality is what leads to a deeper understanding of relationships. We can't have light without dark we can't have joy without pain. Simple stuff but I constantly need to remind myself. A lot of the songs are about love and loss and longing. Repeating themes through my life - the search for wholeness healing and meaning. I keep coming back and looking at it from different angles through time and through music. It's an ongoing journey that shows no sign of reaching a destination. My songs are documents of that journey''
