Since releasing her full-length debut Frontiers Woman in 2021, Angela Autumn has been opening for acts like Bonny Light Horseman and Cut Worms, and her great 2023 track “Electric Lizard” took off. Now, the Appalachian-born and Nashville-based musician is announcing her second album, Believer, which arrives this fall. “Mountain Stream” is out alongside the news.
“The song ‘Mountain Stream’ is a slack-tuned anthem about escaping something,” Autumn explains, continuing:
It came to me one night when I was on a medicine journey and felt very otherworldly. I began singing words that did not feel like my own. But I think I was unearthing something deep inside of me. The mountain is a powerful image to me in my healing. It represents new heights and accomplishments, something monumental that is not easily perceived by the senses, but is felt internally. When making the video I wanted to show feminine power through dance. We collaborated with a few dancers and musicians and I made up some choreography. The song was entirely tracked live, minus the banjo and the loud primal hollers me and Isaiah [Beard] added. I love that he had the faith in me to record it and it turned out to be the last song of six we tracked during our studio day. It had rained all day, so we really got to drop in and turn it up.
