Kingston-based singer-songwriter and folk musician Anthea Feaver is excited to share the release of her debut album, “Summer’s Morning,” on Friday September 20th.
Recorded at Neptune’s Machine on Wolfe Island, Ontario, the album features contributions by talented local musicians Haley Sarfeld (voice), Liam Cole (drums), Teilhard Frost (fiddle/viola), Danton Delbaere-Sawchuk (cello), and Devon Runions (tuba). The album was engineered and mixed by Jason Mercer, who also plays bass on the album, and mastered by Philip Shaw Bova.
“Summer’s Morning” is a collection of eight original and two traditional songs that explore experiences of love through the lens of trauma and the process of recovery. Tied together by this wider theme, the songs reflect on mental illness, environmentalism, existentialism, isolation, and connection. The arrangements range from sparse and sombre (“January-December”; “Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maidens) to energetic and uplifting ("Bedtime Story”; “Summer’s Morning”), all the while driven by Feaver’s poignant lyricism and deftly fingerpicked guitar. “Summer’s Morning” shines a light on the intricate balance between bleakness and hope.
