Ground Our Sky

In an old Norse myth, the great northern glaciers stored energy until they burst with fluorescent light, giving birth to the Aurora Borealis. Saariselka draws inspiration from the meeting of earth and light, where slow - moving land meets enveloping light fields. Composers Marielle Jakobsons (Fender Rhodes, organ, synthesizers) and Chuck Johnson (pedal steel guitar and treatments) collaborate sonically on their debut album, The Ground Our Sky. They unearth and explore a new ambient Americana sound. Jakobsons, co - founder of the beguiling Date Palms, and Johnson combine their unique artistry to create a universe of remarkable resonance. The album features a vibrant, seemingly endless sway of sounds that exists beyond time and space. It encourages us to ponder the universe by looking down at the ground, an inverted perspective at the heart of Saariselka's music. The feeling of losing our footing is universal, and this album seizes the chance to change our perspective meaningfully.

To enjoy this album, simply find a quiet place, put on your headphones or play it through a good sound system, and let the music wash over you. There are no strict rules on when to listen - it can be during a relaxing evening at home, a long drive, or while doing some light reading.
