It's a rejuvenated Kira Skov liberating listeners from the seasonal gloom of early 2023 on My Heart Is A Mountain – her new album with a heart so full of promise it leaves us mere mortals breathless. It's a revitalized Kira who, after last year's appearance on Danish TV's celebrity reality series (Toppen Af Poppen / Top of the Pops), seems armed with an unbridled desire to embrace life and the ever-changing new normal of the present, while provoking healthy existential lyrical curiosity. Kira's voice has never been stronger than now, and it becomes immediately apparent that her days of heartbreak, sorrow, and loss appear to be fewer and further from one another. The grief she's explored in her songwriting has been a natural, necessary process since the harrowing heartbreak in February of 2017 that robbed her of her husband and left their son without his father. But even the longest night's journey through seemingly unrelenting darkness eventually meets its end at the dawn of a new day, as the morning sun warms, thaws, and instills irresistible optimism for life, reminding us of adventures yet to be had and mountains yet to be climbed. And that's where we meet Kira on My Heart Is A Mountain. She's on an expedition in which new faces and sounds and ideas merge with the familiar, but the bittersweet and tragic memories of the past stay just there. Fresh focus is put on the present – and future. Her other half, Silas Tinglef (Howl Baby Howl, Niels Skousen, Mellemblond), as well as master producer and multi-instrumentalist John Parish, remain sparring partners as musicians and in production roles, and the caravan's journey has taken them to Real World Studios. The fabled oasis of ethereal music built by Peter Gabriel in an old watermill in the small town of Box in South West England is one of the most iconic studios on Earth and radiates with a holistic vibe (along with a literal babbling brook). Here, most of the songs have been mixed by Head (PJ Harvey, Marianne Faithfull), who's worked closely with John Parish since their early days in Bristol. The album features a new bassist in the form of Billy Fuller, known from the band Beak, and his long-standing collaboration with Robert Plant. Also on board are guitarist Oliver Hoiness, violinist Maria Jagd, and vocalist Mette Lindberg (The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, X Factor, etc) who lends her voice and charisma to a duet with her good friend. Listen, and join Kira as she welcomes listeners out of the shadows – and into the light and promise of a new day. A limited edition LP pressed on 180g vinyl.

First time I’ve ordered from them
Sent In By: Lizzie on 30 July 2024This was the first time I had ordered from discrepancy records, I pre-ordered a limited edition vinyl and was super happy with how fast it shipped out from the release date. I was very impressed and excited that it came with an insert sleeve for the vinyl and the packaging was great nothing was damaged. Love the variety of records they have for sale definitely be buying again from them :)
