It is said that no (wo) man is an island, entire of itself, but if Liz Green‘s highly acclaimed debut album O, Devotion! says anything it’s that she exists in a certain kind of isolation, as a uniquely exceptional, “eccentric and rather magical” artist, (to borrow words from The Guardian). Now she returns with a new album, Haul Away! which is due out on 14th April via PIAS.
Musically, the eleven song record floats through a myriad of styles, nodding their head at folk and blues and the theatrical and the cinematic, even prog gets a look in, as Liz Green casts her magical musical net far and wide.
Like all her work, its full of stories, and words and escapism, and mythology and, well, death. “Obviously, I like to throw some death in there. I don’t want anyone to think I’ve changed too much. Actually, I think only one person dies on the album. The rest is open for debate. I’ve certainly shown them the way out. If they can’t find it, it’s their own fault!”, says Green.
