Post Description

Wel even iets anders dan we van haar gewend zijn. Misschien went ook dit album.

27 years on from the release of ‘Jagged Little Pill’ – an essential 90s post-grunge record that sold copies in the millions – Canadian Alanis Morissette returns with 2022 meditation record ‘The Storm Before the Calm'.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Alanis said, “all I knew is that I wanted to write a record that would offer something, and throughout the process of creating with Dave Harrington, beautifully and mercifully, it became its own multi-layered life raft during a time where I felt like I might disappear and float away”.

Alanis’s flair for lyricism is, arguably, what helms the acclamation she has received over the last 30 years. It may then come as surprise that this album is nearly entirely instrumental.

Across its 11 tracks, ‘the storm before the calm’ invites listeners on an introspective journey. Although without lyrics, Alanis’s knack for words is present in each of the track titles, displaying honesty and awareness with names like ‘explore – the other side of stillness’, ‘purification – alchemical crunch’ and ‘awakening – in between thoughts’.

Tracks:
1.Light—the lightworker's lament
2.Heart—power of a soft heart
3.Explore—the other side of stillness
4.Space—pause on violence
5.Purification—the alchemical crunch
6.Restore—calling generation X
7.Awakening—in between thoughts
8.Ground—i want to live
9.Safety—empath in paradise
10.Mania—restint in the fire
11.Vapor—amplified in stillness
