about

"Hiraeth" is an untranslatable Welsh word that describes the longing for a home, a place or a feeling that no longer exists or never existed.
The album pulls on a heart that conveys a distinct feeling of missing something irretrievably lost.
Movin through different soundscapes, the music is comfort and catharsis at the same time. It is like a book with different chapters that are interwoven. From sparse and intimate compositions to cinematic soundworlds. The album is a longing for integrity and innocence in a world that's out of balance. It is not only a longing for a lost past but also for a contemporary Utopia.

"Hiraeth" was recorded at Candy Bomber Studios in Berlin by Ingo Krauss, with a large number of musicians. Besides choir, double bass, lap steel guitar, drums, cello, horns , different organs and keyboards, the original instruments accordion and zither still shine through from time to time. Joanna's voice sits unmistakable on top of the majestic, nearly monumental compositions which despite their richness always stay intimate and delicate.
