The debut solo album from singer / songwriter Fiona Mackenzie features self-penned evocative new songs in Gaelic and English.
These are songs with a distinct, northern European character. Her writing and singing technique are affected by a spectrum of influences spanning Hungarian folk music, Nick Cave, Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins and Bjork, as well as the Scottish and Gaelic traditions.
Co-produced by The Blue Nile producer Calum Malcolm, traditional acoustic instruments and electronic elements blend to create a forward-thinking music that remains rooted in heritage. Mackenzie's emotive self-penned lyrics paint a picture and the sound at times is hauntingly Celtic.
Born and raised on the Isle of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland, Mackenzie has been writing and performing songs in English and Gaelic since her early teens.
All songs recorded by Calum Malcolm at Carlekemp.
