Isla Craig — Postcards from the Underground

Toronto based songwriter Isla Craig shares 'Moon', the second single to be taken from her forthcoming album Echo's Reach due 4th Nov via Idée Fixe.

Discussing her new single her new single, Isla says: "The new single is my humble offering into the canon of 'Moon' songs across the ages. A song that is more a vibe and a vibe that asks us to suspend the harsh frequencies of earthbound folly for a moment of reflection and feeling. Keeping it psyche and casting a spell, the lessons of the moon of which I live to tell!"

Moving on to discuss the forthcoming album Isla comments “The album is a collection of songs that express an earnest desire for meditative paces and spaces, absorbing and reflecting the sacred grounds beneath concrete city life. Echo's Reach describes a desire to illuminate and walk in the transmissions and meditations of life between the fallow and the seed.”

While expanding on her inspiration Isla explains: “Walking during the pandemic took on new dimensions of support and grounding, in a time where the necessity to declutter the daily grind offered a radical re-attunement towards nature. Whereas ‘Weather’ was born out of the rugged wilds of the Irish countryside, ‘Psyche (Valley Girl)’ is a window into the sacred that is right outside your window. The plantain that persists through the sidewalk cracks; the storm water creeks that flow through the ravine systems. Not an idealised, perfect nature but a nature born out of and in its relationship to the city. The path of least resistance and most resilience.”
