Brisbane songwriter Mardi Lumsden has released this wonderful new folk single, ‘Heading Home’, the third to come from her debut album Hiatus.
The song hits a soulful groove courtesy of the Hammond organ and her restrained voice with its sweet, soft, sleepy tones and blurred edges. According to Lumsden, “‘Heading Home’ is the feeling you get when you’ve been travelling for a long time and the plane wheels finally hit the tarmac in your home town.” She hits that emotion perfectly too.
Written in rural Bali, You can hear Balinese gamelan instruments, recorded (on a phone) during a walk along dusty roads, far from the tourist trail. Beautiful stuff!
