The Skinny Review

On 1 October, Scottish harpist Ailie Robertson, who performs under the moniker Adenine, is set to release her self-titled debut album. A thing of sheer understated beauty, its five tracks – some of which clock in at almost ten minutes long – are filled with intricately played harp, ambient drones, heart-melting strings and thoughtful field recordings. The track titles pleasingly borrow their names from Scottish words for types of rain, from a light drizzle (Smirr) to a coastal mist (Haar), as the album deftly explores our relationship to nature. It's the perfect soundtrack for chilly evenings hiding from the world, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. Something most of us will likely be doing a lot this autumn.
