 | | Description: | Renowned GRAMMY-nominated folksinger Eliza Gilkyson will release her
20th album, SECULARIA, on July 13 2018 via Red House/Compass Records Group.
Gilkyson??s music, in the classic folk music tradition, has always offered a
vivid reflection of the times we live in. SECULARIA, the long-awaited followup
to Nocturne Diaries, is a collection of spiritually charged songs that do
not fit within the parameters of traditional religious beliefs, challenging us to
embrace a more inclusive perspective, to respect all life and to be accountable
for our actions in these divisive times.
The album features a stunning performance with the internationally
acclaimed Tosca String Quartet, (David Byrne, Bob Schneider), vocal cameos
by Shawn Colvin and gospel singer Sam Butler, and a duet with her friend,
the late Jimmy LaFave, as well as two songs adapted from poetry written
by her grandmother, Phoebe Hunter Gilkyson, co-written with Eliza??s father,
folksinger Terry Gilkyson. Recorded with what she calls a ??spare urban folk
approach,? the album features songs of grief, gratitude and wonder. As always,
she??s assembled a group of some of Austin??s finest players to back her in the
studio: Chris Maresh (Eric Johnson), Warren Hood, Kym Warner (The Green
Cards), Andre Moran, Mike Hardwick (Jon Dee Graham, Charlie Sexton), Betty
Soo and more. - Comes with 16 pages inlay."Secularia" is an introspective and deeply human CD by American singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson, released on the renowned roots and folk label Red House Records. The album weaves together folk, Americana, and subtle country influences with a spiritual-but-not-dogmatic perspective, exploring themes like mortality, doubt, compassion, social justice, and the search for meaning in a secular age. With her warm, weathered voice and poetic lyrics, Gilkyson reflects on personal and collective experience, balancing melancholy with resilience and quiet hope. The production is intimate and organic, emphasizing acoustic instruments, clear vocal arrangements, and carefully crafted harmonies that give each song an almost devotional character without belonging to any specific religious tradition. "Secularia" will particularly appeal to listeners who appreciate thoughtful songwriting, literary lyrics, and mature, emotionally grounded folk music.
