From The Ground

by From The Ground

supported by

Paul Towndrow Stunning, epic, powerful music!

Scott Bamford This is excellent and well worth the wait. And I feature on the last track! What a treat to say I appear on an album with some of the best musical talent in Scotland. Favorite track: Breathe.

Pat Robertson It was worth the wait. Awesome!

Stuart I think that this is possibly one of the most enchanting projects that Ali and LB have been involved with to date – you can hear the hours of devotion that have gone into composing, playing, arranging, and producing the music by all involved + a very worthwhile concept too. Favorite track: Broken Shores (To Catch The Coming Rain/Lifeblood/Broken Shores).

kinfan The years of work rewarded by this inspirational compilation of soundscapes, great tunes, typically classy vocals, and instrumentalists of the highest quality: the production supporting a brilliant release Favorite track: Wake Lines.

about

Cinematic, contemporary and captivating, From the Ground is an ode to nature and its infinite power to heal. It carries an urgent message for its listeners – we must cherish our planet – and celebrates how connecting with our natural environment can benefit our mental health.

Samples of whistling winds from Skye, crashing waves from Harris beaches, sounds of the forest from the outskirts of Glasgow and the crackling fire from Ali’s own home are layered with bold organic instrumentation and poignant lyricism to create a stunning self-composed piece of work which is intricate and epic in equal measure.
