About this product

After releasing her sophomore album Inner Song in the midst of the pandemic, Kelly Lee Owens was faced with the sudden realisation that her world tour could no longer go ahead. Keen to make use of this untapped creative energy, she made the spontaneous decision to go to Oslo instead. There was no overarching plan, it was simply a change of scenery and a chance for some undisturbed studio time. It just so happened that her flight from London was the last before borders were closed once again. The blank page project was underway. Arriving to snowglobe conditions and sub-zero temperatures, she began spending time in the studio with Lasse Marhaug. An esteemed avant-noise artist, Marhaug envisioned making music that would fall loosely in line with Throbbing Gristle. Kelly, on the other hand, had planned to create something inspired by Enya, an artist who has had an enduring impact on her creative being. They met each other halfway, pairing tough, industrial sounds with ethereal celtic mysticism, and creating music that ebbs and flows between tension and . One month later, Kelly called her tag to tell them she had created something of an outlier, her 'eighth album'.

Kelly Lee Owens - Inner Song   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Kelly Lee Owens' masterful second album Inner Song finds the convention-blurring techno producer and singer/songwriter diving deep into her own psyche-excoriating the struggles she's faced since the of her breakout 2017 self-titled debut and exploring personal pain while embracing the beauty of the natural world. It's a leap in artistry from a musician who burst forth on the scene with a confident, rich sound, and Inner Song is endlessly enticing when it comes to what Owens is capable of. Inner Song comes off of what Owens describes as Inchthe hardest three years of my life,Inch an emotionally fraught time. InchIt was definitely impacting my creative life and everything I'd worked for up to that point,Inch she explains. InchI wasn't sure if I could make anything anymore, and it took quite a lot of courage to get to a point where I could make something again.Inch So while the lovely cover of Radiohead's InchArpeggiInch might strike some as an unconventional way to open a sophomore effort, to Owens the winding take on the classic tune represents the sort of sonic rebirth that's so essential to Inner Song's aura. InchI'm a massive Radiohead fan, so it's sacrilege in a way,Inch she chuckles. InchBut I wanted to give my take on a track that always sounded like running through synth arpeggios to me. To me, it sounds like rising out of something quite bleak and hopeless, and resurfacing-a comeback from where I was at.Inch While the InchArpeggiInch cover was recorded a year before work on Inner Song was properly started, the rest of the album was largely written and recorded over a month last winter. As with her debut, Owens holed up in the studio with producer and collaborator James Greenwood. Letting loose in the studio and being open to whatever sonic whims emerge was essential to Owens' crafting of Inner Song. InchWith the first album, I was so obsessed with getting the
