Hana Stretton releases her second album tiarn this Friday. So far the British-Australian ambient-folk artist has unveiled "Stove," "Salt," "Seagull Theory II," and "As It Was Before This," and now she's back with another captivating preview called "From."
"I made 'From' as a dark storm rolled over," Stretton explains. "I opened all the windows and recorded it with my dog Roo asleep next to me. I used a hairbrush for the guitar, played some synth and a tiny harp. I realize now that it's about how to weather our own storms without hardening. To keep reaching for warmth and kindness in our stubbornly sharp world."
The otherworldly song is accompanied by a beautiful video sheathed in fog. It's directed by her sister Amelia Lander. Dive in below.
tiarn is out 8/7 as a self-release with assists from Lima Limo, P.W. Elverum & Sun, Impartmaint, and Brierfield Flood Rress.
