There’s wonderful news from singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Elena Seti\u00e9n<\/a>, who has announced the release of a new album entitled Unfamiliar Minds<\/em>. The San Sebastian native composed the album during lockdown, after putting out Mirande<\/em>, a collaborative album with composer Xabier Erikizia, sang in her Basque language.<\/p>\n

On Unfamiliar Minds<\/em>, and as the press release explains, “Seti\u00e9n reflects on isolation, confusion and harnesses uncertainty with optimism on ten ghostly wonders that capture ineffable feelings in radiant detail.” The album is further described as “a palatial guide through trial and exaltation, a meditation on disquiet and hope for uncovering what lies ahead.”<\/p>\n

As captivating as ever, Seti\u00e9n continues to beguile us with her shimmering and beautiful melodies, as well as her rich and deep voice. We’ll have to wait until January 28th for the album to be out through Thrill Jockey<\/a> but we can already wrap our ears around the celestial title track. Here it is.
