Stereo Embers: The Podcast

"Kindergarten Heart" Well, the Canadian singer/songwriter Shaina Hayes finished university and did what most graduates do--she started a farm. Ambitious? Of course it was--but Hayes, who was actually raised on a farm, was more than up for the challenge and spent her twenties tilling the land for her vegetable farm which was also a local CSA. The art of farming gave way to another art form--music. Hayes put out her debut album To Coax A Waltz in 2022 and two years later comes the follow-up Kindergarten Heart. A stirring blend of aching melancholia and gentle indie folk, Kindergarten Heart is powered by percussive rhythms and poetic flourishes that weave through each composition with hopeful elegance. It's truly beautiful work. And this is a lovely, lovely chat. www.shainahayes.bandcamp.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com X: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: [e-mail]
