Haley Heynderickx has announced her first new album in six years. Seed of a Seed arrives digitally November 1 and physically December 6 (via Mama Bird Recording Co.). The Portland-based singer-songwriter has shared her second single from the album, “Foxglove,” with a music video directed by Evan Benally Atwood. In the clip, two people embark on an adventure on a grassy mountain while Heynderickx sings and whittles a stick. Watch it below.
The long-awaited follow-up to Heynderickx’s 2018 debut full-length, I Need to Start a Garden, was led by the July single “Seed of a Seed.” While that song was about reclaiming your time, “Foxglove” looks forward to dream of an easygoing future. “[It’s] my daydream tune craving a slower and simpler pace of life,” she explained. “Sometimes it all feels so far away—living in a city being so removed from a life entwined with nature.”
Lyrically, Seed of a Seed centers around the ways in which we’ve distanced ourselves from nature in a world of technology and overconsumption. Joining Heynderickx to flesh out the album’s compositions are drummer Daniel Rossi, trombone player Denzel Mendoza, and bassist Matthew Holmes, with additional parts by electric guitarist William Seiji Marsh and cellist Caleigh Drane.
