The album was inspired by the dislocation Kennan felt upon returning, after several years away, to the rustic neighborhood northwest of L.A. where she’d grown up: “Wandering through a place where my life once existed but where everything had quietly shifted with time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music conjures a mood of distance, dust, and dazed emotion, alternately lulling and unraveling. From shuffling tumbleweed vignettes (“The Lone West,” “Romantic Strings”) to sepia-tone torch songs (“Shadows,” “Reverie”) to oblique keyboard meditations (“Moonlight,” “Rain”), Kennan’s soundworld moves with a muted, murky beauty, like alluring shapes seen through smudged glass. In her hands, haze is a transformative property, liberating melody and memory into landscapes still untraveled: “What began as a period of nostalgia for me turned into a longing, not for the past, for a place that might exist somewhere beyond the horizon.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KRANKY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57228487590268,"sku":"796441825318","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/9763\/5678\/files\/int-b221feadbdf1852cfb99367fa86ed25c-93c9xoee.webp?v=1785329403","url":"https:\/\/offthebeatentracks.co.uk\/products\/cate-kennan-shadows-new-lp","provider":"Off The Beaten Tracks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
