Looking glass

"'Looking Glass' is a beautiful and aptly named record. The past and future are knitted together. As Alice learnt in the Lewis Carroll book, which inspired this album's title, even though the past can't be changed, it can be learnt from. This evocative record is a reminder that although our past is sometimes a source of sadness, it can also provide us with comfort".

"Just like Lewis Carroll's 'Alice Through the Looking Glass,' it is hard to know what is reality and what is fiction in the `digital rabbit hole' that many of us found ourselves relying on during the pandemic. It seems telling that that so many of her songs relate to taking refuge in the natural world or seeing human emotions in all their light and dark forms echoed in nature, with pastoral elemental imagery of water, rivers, wind, sunrise and magical realist images of dancing in the 'Strawberry Moon.' This is an album to bathe and take refuge in, woven with Americana roots and deep ripples of sonic solace, 'Looking Glass' is a place of sonic sanctuary and soul solace. Dive in".
