Black Belt Eagle Scout, aka Katherine Paul, has revealed details of her third album.
'The Land, The Water, The Sky' is scheduled to arrive on February 10 via Saddle Creek, following up her 2019 LP, 'At The Party With My Brown Friends'. Paul explained:
"I created 'The Land, The Water, The Sky' to record and reflect upon my journey back to my homelands and the challenges and the happiness it brought."
Following the October single Don't Give Up, her first new song in three years, the grungy My Blood Runs Through This Land serves as the latest taster of the record. Paul said:
"[The song] is about the connection I have with my ancestors. When I run my hands through the rocks at Snee Oosh beach and dip my fingers into our waterways, I am reminded of where I come from. Paying attention to all of the sounds and the feelings I get when I am immersed in trails of cedar trees and canoeing out on the water deeply grounds me and strengthens my bond to my lineage of the Swinomish tribe. I wanted the delicateness of these moments to meet the intense reality of the history of my people. I like to imagine my blood - all of my ancestors - running through our homelands freely and powerfully."
