Always striving to achieve something different with each release, Rachel decided that she\\r\u003cbr\u003ewould make a completely solo album this time around, simply featuring her voice and acoustic and electro harps with no guest musicians. As this felt a more personal and intimate project, she wanted to record in a space that held a special meaning to her. Her grandparents' house, where she spent all her school holidays from Edinburgh as a child and the characters who passed through it over the years have had a profound impact on\\r\u003cbr\u003eRachel as a person and a musician. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe album was arranged and recorded on a beautifully sunny week in July 2018 with\\r\u003cbr\u003etrips to the beach and out to sea on Rachel's father's boat in between takes. Rachel's longtime collaborator and sound engineer Mattie Foulds travelled north to record it all, with Somhairle MacDonald joining them to take photographs and create the artwork. Thespectacular views of the landscape from the house have influenced the music, with short improvisations named after the mountains threading their way through the album.\u003cp\u003eGura Muladach Sgith Mi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaid of Neidpath\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuilven\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce I had a True Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHi Horo 's na Horo Eile\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkye Air \\xca\\xca\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStac Pollaidh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Token\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeinn an Eoin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO C\\u02dc Thogas Dh\\u201com An Fhadachd\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBen Mor Coigach\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55131855094145,"sku":"1205412","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51kPJ9Z1n9L._SL1500.jpg?v=1766953826","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1205412","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
