As with her 2018 debut, The Deep End, the entirety of Canyon was composed and performed live on a Sequential Circuits MultiTrak synthesizer – but this time routed through a delay pedal. This refraction adds a lyrical spatial quality, as though “echoing off canyon walls.” It's music both gentle and adventurous, curiously rooting through soils and streams, in a sustained state of discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Cherokee teachings, humans and animals are considered to have no essential difference – originally, all the creatures of the earth lived together in harmony. Canyon captures shades of this Edenic notion across eight elegant pieces, alternately meandering, pensive, playful, and pure. Sutton’s playing, as always, is dexterous and dimensional, mirroring the dazzled senses of its muse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer father, the Cherokee painter and flute-maker Jerry Sutton, created the artwork. Its yellow lettering is from the Cherokee Syllabary and spells “Yona\", meaning ‘bear.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e1. Waterfall 2. Lily Pad 3. Snake 4. Yona 5.

Remarkably evocative music from a stripped-back set-up, making The Deep End a revitalising listen wherever you experience it.” Resident Advisor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Saloli’s miniatures shiver with crystalline arabesques of ice.” Tiny Mix Tapes “...gorgeous: fluid, warm, and reassuringly down to earth. Instead of atmospheric sublimity, it’s keyed to the humility of the human form at its most vulnerable.
