HEATHER NOVA - Breath And Air - LP - Orange Vinyl [FEB 21]

LP - Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Orange Vinyl.  

In February 2025, Heather Nova releases her 13th album, "Breath and Air" on V2 Records. It's a collection of evocative songs that are rich in melody, lyric and arrangement, with Heather's signature vocal as strong and ethereal as ever. The album enfolds you in a timeless atmosphere; inviting you to forget everything for a moment, while simultaneously coming home to yourself.

"As I get older I notice I have repeated patterns my whole life, even the ones that don't serve me: Thought patterns, relationship patterns…. We repeat the cycles until we truly learn what our core wounds are and how to heal them. Songwriting in itself is a search for meaning and clarity about ourselves and the world we inhabit."

Heather wrote the songs on "Breath and Air" over the past 2 years and spent 4 weeks in the Devon countryside (UK) holed up in an enchanting studio with Chris Bond (Ben Howard) putting down the tracks.

"It was mostly just the 2 of us, with Midori Jaeger coming down from London for a few days to play her beautiful cello. Out the window was a field. I would watch the light change there throughout the day. There was a rare albino pheasant that would come and go. I took it as a good sign!"

Breath and Air, Ebbs and Flows, Butterflies and Moths: these are some of the titles of the songs: "The duality of nature and of being alive is something I explore in my songs. Two things can be true at the same time - that's something I came to realise as I got older. Accepting and balancing this duality is what leads to a deeper understanding of relationships. We can't have light without dark, we can't have joy without pain. Simple stuff, but I constantly need to remind myself.

A lot of the songs are about love and loss and longing. Repeating themes through my life - the search for wholeness, healing and meaning. I keep coming back and looking at it from different angles, through time and through music. It's an ongoing journey that shows no sign of reaching a destination. My songs are documents of that journey”.
