“I remember the old record player that my parents had when I was growing up. I can still see us dancing in the living room as the record spun. ‘Don’t touch the needle!’ I can hear my parents scolding us kids to be careful around the turntable.
There’s something truly sacred about vinyl. Maybe it’s because you can damage your favorite record if you don’t treat it with love and care. Or maybe it’s because listening to vinyl is an experience. Some music is just better on vinyl. I am by no means what one would call a ‘vinyl snob,’ but I do know you can’t listen to someone like Frank Sinatra any other way.” —Heather Bond
Heather Bond delivers bold and emotive pop tapestry on new LP, So Long, in stores September 18.
We have the pleasure of premiering Bond’s stripped down single “Tomorrow”—a plaintively sung lullaby that casually cascades over an ear-wormy piano arpeggio. The song is full of innocent beauty and a lovely musicality that straddles the line between authentic singer-songwriter and Top 40 pop.
Bond’s distinct style is one of the many connective currents that runs through So Long. The album contains a variety of cinematic ditties that evoke a feeling of empathy and grace, making her a shoe-in for fans of Yael Naim.
