about

In Irish mythology, the Ninth Wave is the barrier that separates the Earthly world from the ‘otherworld’. The legends told of a mystical place that lay beyond the West Coast of Ireland, far out across the sea. This island was invisible to the naked human eye and only accessible if you managed to survive the mighty onslaught of the ninth wave.

This album was created over the summer of 2021 (from Memorial Day - Labor Day).  It began in a cabin in the woods and expanded from there.  It is my first album written entirely by the ocean so the lyrics and instrumentation all have a water energy about them.  I wanted to keep the swing and feel of a live performance throughout the record so we used all live drums & percussion from A.U.R.C as well as the lovely backup vocals of Jade Gritty.
