Product Details
Beth Orton has spent three decades quietly reshaping what singer-songwriter music can hold, from her early collaborations with the Chemical Brothers and William Orbit to the sparse piano meditations of Weather Alive. Ground Above arrives as the next step in that long arc, an artist who has never chased trends finding something rawer and more grounded than ever before.
If 2022’s album, Weather Alive, lived underwater, suspended, spectral, and dreamlike, The Ground Above marks a resurfacing. It is Beth’s most direct and unapologetic music to date; profoundly urgent, embodied, and powered by a new found strength. Where the previous record unfolded in a post-ictal, time-out-of-time dreamscape, The Ground Above finds Orton firmly back on land, taking a giant intake of air. It documents survival, integration, renewal,and acceptance without resignation.
