Reconnecting with these quiet messages has set Seth Glier, an avid mushroom forager and a Grammy-nominated artist from Western Massachusetts, on a path of channeling natures longing for communion with humanity into song. His new album Everything is a collection of eight songs inviting us to imagine a future in which humans and the planet are re-aligned into mutual restoration.Each song presents a practical climate solution with concrete optimism.What if this is the beginning, not the beginning of the end, the album opens with bristling energy and hope on Rise, an anthem about rewilding. Finally Home is a celebration of regenerative farming with driving doo wop vocal harmony. Mammoth, written from the perspective of a wooly mammoth being brought back to life from frozen DNA, invites us to consider the blip of human history against billions of years of evolution. The albums guest stars Crys Matthews, Hayley Reardon, and Windborne elevate the record with surprise from the stark choir arrangement of Birches recorded a capella in an old church to My Body Remembers, a flowing meditation on the transmission of healing, EMDR s title track was inspired by an experience Seth had while foraging. When I picked up the chantarelle mushroom and brought it towards my nose I first smelled sweet apricot and then my spine straightened suddenly. The feeling was like dj vu. It was a first time, yet somewhere inside of me I had done this once before. I was reconnecting to a knowledge I had already known. The album is an acknowledgement of the sacred connections that exist between all living things and is an active questioning of what might be possible collectively. Everything is a reminder that the future is something we always have an influence over.Sale Dates and Times:
