It’s unusual to encounter a debut full-length album with as much confidence and clarity as Malin Lewis’s Halocline, which is also a work of subtle, nuanced beauty. We met with the Scottish piper to learn more about it.
Halocline, the debut album from Malin Lewis, our Artist of the Month, is a highly creative and singular forty minutes of music that’s unique in its character and emotion. Clever in its approach and balanced in its execution, in short, it’s quite exceptional.
Malin Lewis, the pioneering queer bagpiper, fiddler, instrument maker and composer, releases their debut album Halocline next month. Watch the stunningly scenic video for their third album single, Hiraeth. The album is inspired by European folk traditions, human nature, queerness and the universe.
