Description
"Suzanne Jarvie has conjured up something atypical bold, mysterious, life-affirming and rich in deep symbolism on her powerful new album "mother's day", due for release via Continental Record Services (CRS) Europe and Wolfe Island Records, North America - A singer songwriter, folk and Americana artist, Jarvie is not limited to these niches, as she delves headstrong into the mystical and the subconscious dream-like terrain that often strikes fear and hesitation in most.
Musically, her voice captivates in the dark, mesmerizing way that PJ Harvey, Joni Mitchell or Patti Smith strike a chord in uncharted areas of the listener's awareness.
"With mother's day, I seem to advance and fall back all at once. There is no resolution save acceptance. But there's no trying with acceptance, only total surrender, which feels like an inevitable energetic conclusion. I fought it forever but am getting there now. My grieving had its own order. This last phase of songwriting has happened amidst anger and depression, co-mingled. So there's rage on this album along with devotion and release."
Born of tragedy and loss, Suzanne's story involves grieving in motherhood toward acceptance of multiple co-existing realities that will never resolve. Although there is acceptance, belief and fearless forward movement, there is also realism and acknowledgement of the powerless and complete chaos we often face. From confounding trauma to deep bonds with humanity, esoteric, bravely personal levels of lyricism, frightening mythology, death, true hope...and of course, black rabbits, this is an album like no other.
