Description
The story of Pink Stone begins in the late fall of 2016 when friends invited Wren to house-sit their cabin in Washington’s Methow Valley (USA), a place of epic mountain peaks and wild rivers in the traditional territory of the Mətxʷú people. Worn-down and out of songs after years of battling a mysterious illness, she accepted the invitation and left her old life behind to stay for a time at their remote cabin in the woods, lovingly called Moose Lodge. The body of music and writings that emerged from that first month by the river, and grew over several years of extended returns to the valley, became Wren’s 3rd album, Pink Stone: Songs from Moose Lodge, produced at Airtime Studios in Bloomington, Indiana by David Weber (Moira Smiley, Carrie Newcomer, Straight No Chaser) and featuring Jason Wilber (John Prine band), Krista Detor, and world flutist Gary Stroutsos. At times both melancholic and joyous, the ten-song album showcases Wren’s emotive vocals and classical-guitar accompaniment, bolstered by roots/Americana instrumentation and soothing textures of electric guitars and harmony vocals. To accompany the album, Wren is releasing a 98-page Companion Book of essay vignettes, journal entries, illustrations, photos, and lyrics born from her time in the Methow, available at www.wren-music.com. Pink Stone follows in the steps of Wren’s two earlier place-based albums. Her second album, Stitch an Ocean (2016), described by fRoots as a “heartfelt love-letter to Galicia,” Spain, featured her interpretation of two traditional Galician folksongs in addition to originals. Her first album, Bone Nest (2013), deemed “a perfect soundtrack for our misty Pacific Northwest winters” by DJ Kitty (KSER), was inspired by her coming of age with the plants, animals, and landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, where she grew up on traditional Duwamish territory.
