about

It's about falling asleep near the ocean, with a storm building outside that seeps into your dreams and swallows you whole.

The song is a gentle nod to Jagt's seaside home; one that expands her folky palette to include swirling electric guitars and a soaring string section.

This is the first release off a long coming album which has been made possible thanks to a grant by Carclew.

lyrics

Imagining life was easy,
You move with me, deep in the stormy sea.

about

Alana Jagt Adelaide, Australia

Alana Jagt’s dynamic rasp soars over her blend of stormy folk-rock noir that's refreshing yet somehow familiar. Live she performs powerful, vocal-led solo affairs; playful trio shows; and with her six-piece twin guitar rock band.
