Kara-Lis Coverdale releases new single “Freedom”
NEW SINGLE + ALBUM OUT MAY 09 2025
Today, Canadian composer, musician, and producer Kara-Lis Coverdale unveils “Freedom,” the second single from her first new album in eight years, From Where You Came, out May 9th via Envision Records. Following lead single “Daze”, “Freedom” stands out as it sound becomes a feat of physics; physical and subterranean, and even destructive amongst drone figures. In June, Kara-Lis will embark on a series of live performances, including an album release show in Toronto, Sled Island in Calgary, and a special solo organ set in Montreal. More details below.
Speaking of the single, Coverdale explains:
“Freedom: How do we get it? Where does it come from? What does it feel like? How do we overcome? Merging ongoing work in mediated musical systems and a deep-rooted spiritual quest, modular hornpipes lead in gracing interpolated sequences while the underneath tectonically cracks and whirls, illustrating changing matter in unfathomable and irreversible proportion. It’s so grand it swallows itself, re-emerging within a black hole of levity, transcendence, and birth. This work is of universal natural phenomenon, as if watching a planetary body break itself apart, tectonic or geologic change, or perhaps, watching a star being born, emerging anew from immense pressure.”
Speaking directly to the rootlessness and alienation of modernity while processing the thrill and pain of being alive, From Where You Came draws strength through a commitment to groundedness. A dynamic and sublime work, the album unspools as a series of nocturnal transmissions and vivid stories, rich in vibrant, illuminating qualities. Drawing together 19th century programmatic music, mid-’70s instrumental modalism, and her distinctively colorful and multi-dimensional approach to composition, she conducts emotional resonance like currents of charge, hard-wiring the purely felt into electronic signals with ecological sensitivity.
From Where You Came comes out Friday, May 09, 2025 release via Envision Records (Canada) and Smalltown Supersound (ROW).
