We are big fans of HerOrangeCoat’s music here at Mayhem Towers, so we were very excited when we heard about her new project, the EP entitled ‘The Woodland Sessions’. Georgia a.k.a. HerOrangeCoat was able to undertake and complete the project with funding from the Next Gen fund from Youth Music. She went to five woodland locations and wrote and recorded five songs, each in a single day. Georgia says of the songs “These songs are unlike the rest of my catalogue – these are field recordings designed to capture the ambience of the spaces that inspired the music“. These are gorgeously intimate, soulful and introspective recordings with an ambience of natural sounds underlying each of them. The clarity and fragility of Georgia’s vocals is interwoven with the beautifully crafted gentle ukulele accompaniment. This is an EP that takes me to a very happy place and is perfect for a chilled meditation. I haven’t heard anything so wonderfully raw for a long while. These songs will be recorded in a studio for a later release in May. The five songs are listed below alongside the forest and woodland areas they were recorded.
“The Algae and Hope Grow” (Judy Woods)
“I’ve Seen a Deer” (Knaresborough Forest Park)
“Down Where the Stories Grow” (Garbutt Wood)
“Under the Yew Tree” (Castle Eden Dene)
“Adder Stone” (Dalby Forest)
Take a listen, you will love the way this music transports you to another magical place.
