All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Mountain Music is Nina Nesbitt as fans have never heard her before
Having risen to fame at a young age with her disarming, candid pop - the Scottish
musician is now found in an entirely new realm. It is inspired in part by the two
years she spent touring the States in support of her second studio album: the
critically acclaimed Top 40, The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change,
which has now accrued over a billion streams. These songs are permeated with
gorgeous nods to US folk and Americana. It's made all the more extraordinary by
the face that, not long ago, Nesbitt was considering quitting music altogether.
Produced by Peter Miles and Nesbitt, mixed and mastered by Miles at his
stunning studio MiddleFarm in south Devon, and released via her own label, Apple
Tree Records. A playful nod to her 2012 debut EP, TheApple Tree, this marks the
start of an exciting new era for Nina Nesbitt. While it might sound strange that
Nesbitt was drawn to the music of Appalachia, heard echoing through the vast,
verdant mountain ranges of the eastern United States, it makes more sense when
you consider how traditional Scottish ballads and hymns are threads in that rich
tapestry.
Empathy is one of Nesbitt's greatest strengths. We hear it on "Painkiller", a Joni
Mitchell-indebted ballad on which her heart breaks for the men who believe they
have to suppress their own feelings. One of the album's standout qualities is,
perhaps, the dynamic that Nesbitt creates from one song to the next. Where
many folk artists might lean into quiet introspection, she craves the full spectrum
of emotion - so ensconced around "Painkiller" you have the tender "On the Run',
with its distant shivers of percussion and crystalline piano, but also "Anger". She's
in a nostalgic mood on the rousing "Coming Home", a Springsteen- inspired,
driving-with-the-top-down journey back to the places and people she loves.
We all lose ourselves sometimes. The trick is learning how to fnd our way back,
pushing those clouds away to see the blue skies beyond. For artist Nina Nesbitt,
hard-hitting truths and revelations take precedent on her remarkable, career-best
album, Mountain Music. Nesbitt knows exactly who she is, and now, she's ready
to tell the world.
