Against The Tide

Album Description

Delightful and charming journeys of heart and mind, these unique songs sit somewhere between folk, jazz and country rock.

“A lovely record. Sort of textural and wide and mysterious.”

CROOKED TREE – The realisation that this continent is clothed in just a thin layer of fertility brings forth a fierce protective love of everything this land gives us.

ALBUM NOTES

This album tracks Bronwyn’s transformation from acoustic folk (EP, ‘On The Bones of Love’) via her 335 electric guitar to a new and delightful space, driven by changing rhythms, coloured by tangy jazz chords and layered with steel, brass and strings. Once again Brian Campeau’s magical touch is evident in the recording and mixing, as well as in the co-production with Bronwyn.
