UPC: 0648564356852 Making Room for Light , Mae Powell's debut for Karma Chief Records, is the campfire at dawn, when the firepit is replaced with the first stirring of day. Embers, ashes, and smoke of memory give way to percolating coffee and cast-iron breakfasts. Powell's jazz-assured vocals wrap around the headphones with a gauzy dew, as shimmering chords and keys radiate with coming warmth. Its sound is dream, fully giving way to morning, shared with friends and lovers both absent and present. Writing the album over a transitional period in her life, Powell's sophomore album presents the singer/songwriter as both healer and healed, grounded by her connection to nature and sound, ever seeking out spaces to stretch and grow as an artist. Produced by Loving's multi-instrumentalist David Parry, the album was recorded at Risque Disque studio off the coast of Vancouver Island. Making Room for Light is as much an album title as it is Mae Powell's artist manifesto. Join Mae Powell at the creekside campsite, dip your toes into the warm waters, and luxuriate in the afterglow of this summer record.
