Labelmate Laurie Anderson also is featured on the album track "Incarnadine."All the music on Cloudward was written in 2022, mostly in the fall and winter, when things started moving forward. Life felt like a creaky machine starting up again," she continues. "Air travel, however chaotic, had resumed, and we were once again cloudward. Performances and tours and recordings were happening after a long hiatus and with a renewed sense of gratitude. This band, for me, was quite simply working, both musically and personally, and the main thing I felt while writing the music was optimism."Tracks:1.1 The Gate 1.2 The Tower 1.3 Collapsing Mouth 1.4 Unscrolling 2.1 Desiderata 2.2 Incarnadine 2.3 Tailhead 2.4 Ultramarine Show more
