Weather Alive

Beth Orton

A sprawling, atmospheric masterpiece centered on a weathered upright piano. Hazy, jazz-flecked folk that feels like watching a storm roll in from a safe distance.

September 23, 2022 · Partisan Records

A deeply resonant, atmospheric meditation on memory and the natural world that feels both fragile and enduring.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's slow emergence from a haze of piano harmonics into a steady, heartbeat-like rhythm.
The way the saxophone on 'Friday Night' curls around the vocals like smoke in a dimly lit room.
The sprawling, seven-minute conclusion of 'Unwritten' where the instruments seem to dissolve into the atmosphere.
