Having previously been part of now split Tongue Trap, Grant embarks on her new solo venture, Raveloe taking her new moniker from a place in George Eliot's novel, Silas Marner which she explains: "It's about a reclusive weaver who lives in a town called Raveloe. I identified with his character in some ways, Silas a weaver of threads and myself, a weaver of words and song (as well as his departure from organised religion). I also just really loved the word and like the juxtaposition of images it conjures. That this fictional town is as real as you make it, just like the world I want to create in my music."
Recording at home over lockdown, with the remote help of friends from various locations such as Derby, Dumfries and Melbourne, Grant found an escape to channel her energies into which describes: "I ventured into home recording and it's ended up being a really creative time for me, with music being my anchor and release."
Discussing the EP Grant explains: "Through my music I want to make something relatable and share honestly but also create a space that is transportive, atmospheric and at times cathartic. Connecting with the listener is really important to me as well as exploring my inner and outer surroundings. I weave my past experiences with present observations and thoughts, and I hope to take who ever is listening on a journey. 'On a mountain, in a city, in a dream, through the window', Raveloe is where I pour my heart out and explore what it is to be alive through music."
