Here, she finds herself discovering who she is as\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ean artist among the flock, and how abundant one individual can be.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ‘Flood’ is Donnelly’s record of this rediscovery: the product of months of risky experimentation, hard moments of introspection, and a lot of moving around.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Donnelly’s early reflections on the relationship between the individual and the many can be\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etraced back to her time in the rainforests of Bellingen, where she took to birdwatching as both a hobby and an escape in a border-restricted world. By paying closer attention to the natural world around her, Donnelly recalls “I was able to lose that feeling of anyone’s reaction to me. I\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eforgot who I was as a musician, which was a humbling experience of just being; being my small\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eself.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Reconnecting with this ‘small self’ allowed Donnelly to tap into creative wells she didn’t know existed. Soon songs were coming to her in a way she could not control and over the coming\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emonths, Donnelly accumulated 43 tracks as she moved out of Bellingen and around the country, often finding herself displaced due to border restrictions and a tough rental market.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Though the writing of ‘Flood’ was an intensely personal undertaking, Donnelly still saw the\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erecording process as one of her most collaborative projects yet. Along with her band members, co-producing the record beside Anna Laverty and Methyl Ethyl’s Jake Webb helped to foster an important spontaneity in the studio. With Webb, Donnelly could “dig in” and discover a “forward-leaning sound” she’d been searching for, while Laverty’s ability to “capture the piano” and discern the “perfect take” allowed the songwriter to take risks, many of which have clearly paid off.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Looking back at the Banded Stilt, Donnelly ultimately appreciates how when “seen in a crowd\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethey create an optical illusion, but on its own it’s this singular piece of art.” While each song in ‘Flood’ is a singular artwork unto itself, the collective shares all of Stella Donnelly in abundance: her inner child, her nurturing self, her nightmare self; all of herself has gone into the making of this record and, although it would take an ocean to fathom everything she feels, it’s well worth diving in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLungs\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow Was Your Day?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRestricted Account\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnderwater\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedals\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMove Me\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlood\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Week\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOh My My My\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMorning Silence\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCold\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secretly Canadian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41810192531612,"sku":"SC432LP-C1","price":26.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_f1227abf-db77-4565-832c-e05d0a984d68.jpg?v=1659284024","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/stella-donnelly-flood-opaque-red-vinyl","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
