Today, Beatrix releases another taste of her sophomore album with ‘My Angel.’ It’s a stunning, slow-burning Americana moment in which her powerful vocals, affecting songwriting and the assembled band’s chemistry are all on full display. Her sophomore album We Swallowed The Sky will be released on April 24 via Nice Life.
Beatrix dedicates today’s single to everyone she has loved and lost. She shares, “This one was recorded completely live — I played guitar and sang in a booth and the whole band played with me in separate rooms. Right before we hit record, my producer Philip Etherington said, ‘Are you ready? Your whole life has led up to this moment.’
“I was crying when I heard it back for the first time. The guitar solo Harrison Whitford takes at the end does it for me every time. This was really a synergy of some of my favorite musicians ever all in one room. We didn’t rehearse before this day — they just had a demo of me playing it on guitar and unlike most of the other songs which took meticulous arranging and tweaking, this one felt like lightning in a bottle. We barely touched it and just tried to preserve what really happened in the room for those few minutes.”
Today’s music video for ‘My Angel’ was directed by Rogue Bonaventura. Filmed to look like a home movie, the clip carries the same warmth as the sunny day it was shot on.
