Haley Heynderickx has announced Seed of a Seed, her first new album in six years. The follow-up to the Portland-based singer-songwriter’s 2018 debut LP, I Need to Start a Garden, comes out digitally November 1, with a physical release to follow on December 6 via Mama Bird Recording Co.. It’s already been previewed by the title track, and Heynderickx has now shared a new single, ‘Foxglove’, alongside a video directed by Evan Benally Atwood. Check it out below and scroll down for the album cover and tracklist.
“‘Foxglove’ is my daydream tune craving a slower and simpler pace of life,” Heynderickx wrote in a statement. “Sometimes it all feels so far away – living in a city being so removed from a life entwined with nature.”
Seed of a Seed finds Heynderickx working with a “core jazz boy band” featuring Daniel Rossi on drums, Denzel Mendoza on trombone, and Matthew Holmes on electric and upright bass. The record features additional contributions from electric guitarist William Seiji Marsh and Caleigh Drane on cello.
According to a press release, the LP explores “how distant we can feel from nature and ourselves in a world of technology, overconsumption and consumerism.” Heynderickx explained in a statement, “The irony is I’ll still be asking these questions; I’m not on the other side of it.”
