These Walls (The First Recording)

Heather Nova

Sparse acoustic guitar and haunting cello provide a skeletal frame for a voice that sounds like sea mist. A raw, intimate introduction to a siren of the 90s.

October 29, 1990

A fragile, sea-salted intimacy that feels like a secret shared in the early morning light.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way her voice leaps into a crystalline falsetto on the word 'sunlight' during These Walls.
The rhythmic, almost percussive acoustic strumming that anchors the wide-eyed optimism of Further Than You.
The melancholic cello lines that weave through Flying as She Falls, mirroring the imagery of falling hair and winter.
