Following on from the release of two singles earlier this year, Celestial North has shared the atmospheric ‘Yarrow.‘ This track shows a different side to the artist compared to the two singles released earlier this year ‘When the Gods Dance‘ and ‘The Nature Of Light.’ Her debut album will be released later this year.
The Edinburgh born, Kendal based artist says of the track: “I often think in ‘music’. My thoughts are usually awash with colours and sounds. I was sitting trying to meditate, or contemplate, beside the yarrow patch in my garden. I was finding it difficult to articulate how I was feeling and started to feel a bit frustrated. I decided to sit quietly and start again. I realised that I didn’t really have any words to write down as such but I did have a tune playing in my head. I decided to record this tune on my piano and added some other elements that I felt benefited the song — a bodhran drum, a choir, the rustling of the yarrow patch and the roses recorded from my garden and some simple electronic sounds. This botanical soundscape is representative of how I felt whilst I was sitting with the yarrow and the tune played on the piano is the tune that was playing in my head whilst sitting with the plant.”
