about

Icebergs started life as the complement to a friend’s visual art installation. He was heading to Newfoundland to film icebergs for a visual art installation he was creating and he wanted music to go with the project. Inspired, I wanted to write a double album - fast tracks and then strip back and slow down versions of those same tracks. The stripped back versions would be used for the actual visual installation.

At the start of this project, I took my husband, Scott, to St. John’s, Newfoundland; for a long weekend where we toured the Avalon peninsula on our own. St. John’s was where I was born and I had not been back since 1998, and it was a stunning weekend. The Victoria Day weekend can be hit or miss in Newfoundland, and the weather was glorious.

I have a lot of complex emotions related to Newfoundland, my identity as a Newfoundlander, and feeling a bit of cultural FOMO having left when I was four. What happened on that trip was me being able to get immersed in my culture, reclamation of identity and reminder things I had lost and getting back in touch. It was a chance to show something to Scott, of which I am deeply proud and to remind myself of that pride.

While the art installation didn’t happen and my music was not used, I still continued with Icebergs as a personal homage to the province, and tells a tale of things that have happened over the past four years.

This is my first album of completely new works from scratch, previously unreleased without going into my back catalogue.
