- November 7, 2024
Australian indie dream-pop artist Færy (Liana Cornell) has officially released her debut album, Rising, alongside the mesmerizing new single “Ritual,”. Known for her ability to blend themes of love, healing, and nature, Færy’s work invites listeners into a spiritual sonic journey that balances untamed freedom with mystical energy. Released through Rising Records, Rising is available to download and stream now.
Exploring Themes of Healing and Rebirth on Rising
The debut album Rising showcases Færy’s unique ability to weave sound healing elements with alternative indie and dream-pop vibes, resulting in an experience that feels both deeply meditative and hauntingly beautiful. Building upon the powerful singles “Ostara,” “Blýth,” “Anam Cara,” and “Beltane,” Rising takes listeners through a journey of healing and transformation, echoing the significance of its Samhain (Halloween) release date. Known as the witches’ New Year, Samhain is a time for introspection and rebirth, aligning perfectly with the album’s overarching themes of inner growth and regeneration.
Reflecting on her album, Færy explains, “Rising was designed to help retune your body and mind, harnessing the ancient practice of music as medicine. Each track is crafted with intention, offering a space for personal transformation, emotional release, and inner balance.” Her dedication to blending emotional depth with sound therapy principles makes this album a transformative listening experience for fans of mindful and intentional music.
“Ritual”: A Spellbinding New Single
“Ritual,” the latest single from Rising, captures Færy’s artistic soul. With ethereal soundscapes, tribal rhythms, and the healing tones of Solfeggio frequencies, the track invites listeners into a space where love transcends the superficial. Partly recorded in a mystical forest near a Kyoto temple, the song features lines from Færy’s own poetry, such as, “I birth worlds from in between my legs,” celebrating the power of inner beauty and self-transformation.
The single “Ritual” immerses audiences in a sonic world that bridges nature’s beauty with raw, personal introspection. Inspired by ancient spiritual practices and Færy’s own journey of self-discovery, the track is a deeply personal yet universally resonant ode to inner power.
A Sonic Journey Through the Wiccan Calendar
Each track on Rising corresponds to a significant moment in the Wiccan calendar, using seasonal symbolism to convey various stages of healing and transformation. The album opens with “Athame,” a powerful invocation designed to cut through the surface and initiate listeners on a sacred journey, much like a traditional Pagan circle casting.
Other highlights include:
- “Yule” – Celebrates the rebirth of light, symbolizing hope and renewal.
- “Imbolc” – Reflects the first signs of spring, hinting at new beginnings and growth.
- “Ostara” – Represents balance and renewal, embodying the energy of the spring equinox.
By grounding her music in Wiccan traditions, Færy offers listeners a way to connect to ancient cycles of nature and healing, transforming Rising into a ritual experience for modern listeners.
Collaboration and Sound Healing
Recorded in the serene landscape of Cornwall, Rising was crafted with the help of acclaimed producer Will Vaughan, known for his work with Oliver Tree, Dorian Electra, and Mae Muller. The album features healing Solfeggio frequencies and environmental soundscapes gathered over a decade, making Rising a celebration of regeneration in mind, body, spirit, and nature.
“Working with Will Vaughan was incredible,” Færy shared. “We were able to blend healing sounds with ambient environmental recordings, creating an album that not only transports but heals.”
