When you listen to Abbie Gathard’s music, it feels like you’re immersed in time. Past, present, future. This time is entirely made up of moments and memories, dreams and daydreams. Insignificant, significant, intentional, serendipitous, and momentous. All connected by shimmering lines of feeling and sentiment. There is a life that is contained within each of her soundscapes. And she gives that life to her listener, fully, freely, and authentically. It is the most romantic thing. Her latest release is the ‘Breathe Again’ album, a collection that delves into the contemplative folds of the mind, the overthinking mind but also the healing mind. And each song is a frame from it.
The track, ‘I Want More’ opens the album, an introduction that is intimate but impactful. It is sprung with luminous acoustics, shining with texture and timber. The acoustic folk extends to a rich, molten, deep folk rock. Abbie’s vocals on the other hand consider folk as the starting point, lifting into beautiful spheres of evocative blues. And this fluid blend of folk, rock, and blues is as interesting and intoxicating as they come. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
