I, Autumnus by Autumn Dawn Leader

I, Autumnus, the new album release from Autumn Dawn Leader, is a deeply emotion-stirring journey within a swirling mix of folk(ish) and classical(ish) style. It was borne out of the artist’s need to scream at life, and connect with dreams that have passed her by, whilst still creating a beautiful, resonating artwork. Not exactly what one would call ‘a concept album’ and, yet, there is a definite fluidity and cohesive thread running throughout the whole of the album; within its stratosphere are everything from magpies to Timelords to seaweed. All of the songs were written exclusively by Autumn, with the exception of the folkiest song on the album, The Bridge At Abermaw, which was co-written with fellow Leicestershire singer-songwriter Andy Griffiths. I, Autumnus combines soaring beauty with gritty rawness, pain with pleasure, fantasy with reality. While all previous releases from ADL have been of an extremely personal nature, this album may, at once, be the most personal of all, but also giving more space for others to relate than ever before.
