Where 2022's \u003cem\u003eWeather Alive\u003c\/em\u003e drifted through a submerged, spectral haze, \u003cem\u003eThe Ground Above\u003c\/em\u003e plants both feet back on solid earth. It is her most direct and unguarded record yet, urgent and embodied in a way that marks a clear departure from the dreamlike suspension of its predecessor. This is an album about survival and what comes after it: integration, renewal, and an acceptance that never tips into resignation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSelf-produced for the first time in her career, Orton built these eight songs with a tight circle of collaborators, including multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily, keyboardist Sam Beste, drummers Chris Vatalaro and Vishal Nayak, trumpeter Christos Styliandes, and bassist Tom Herbert. The result is a record that feels lived-in and physically present, tracks like \"Before I Knew,\" \"Celestial Light,\" and the title cut carry real weight and breath, a far cry from the time-out-of-time atmosphere she explored last time around. Taking on production herself has pushed her songwriting and arranging to new ground, and it shows in how confidently this record moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis Indie Exclusive pressing arrives on smokey, translucent marbled vinyl in the \"Cigarette Curls\" colorway, named for the album's own standout track. It's a fitting physical match for a record that's all about exhaling after a long time underwater. A great entry point for longtime fans of Orton's folktronica roots and newcomers drawn in by her most clear-eyed songwriting to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl [Indie Exclusive, Gray Marbled]","offer_id":47364290478242,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/4497289-3538682.jpg?v=1776798235","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/es\/products\/beth-orton-the-ground-above","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
