"I am really fascinated by the co-morbidity of loss in our emotional and environmental spaces - with climate grief as an active part of our lived experience now, the relationships we mourn are associated with a physical environment that also no longer exists,” says Ravenhearst of the thread of environmental and emotional grief that flows through her music. From an alt-folk rock number, to a finger-picking mourning tune with dashes of spoken word, to a gypsy jazz rock ballad, Ravenhearst's marriage of diverse instrumentation to the poetry of her lyrics is a cohesive exploration of unconventional Americana.
