Listen to the new track from Sarah Neufeld
Sarah Neufeld has released ‘Stories‘, the first track off her upcoming album Detritus
Sarah Neufeld, the Juno Award winning violinist, composer, and long-time member of Arcade Fire and Bell Orchestre, has announced her third solo album! The announcement of Detritus, out May 14th, comes with the release of her stunning new track, ‘Stories‘, and an accompanying music video by Jeremy Mimnagh. Detritus offers a patient, gorgeous evolution of Neufeld’s sound: a soft and open-hearted musical landscape, where the sound is abiding and reflective. Neufeld, who trained in various dance modalities throughout her youth – brings her customary kineticism to these pastorals, like the song of shapes in motion.
Yet the movements are different than they have ever been: inward-turning and outward-facing, deliberate and generous, acknowledging the world with a love that will not flinch. Fittingly, Detritus was born out of a collaboration with renowned dancer and choreographer Peggy Baker; Baker had prepared a solo piece based on work from Neufeld’s second album, The Ridge, to which Neufeld added an original lyrical prelude.
The live result was an incendiary duet, almost a sort of faceoff, which left each artist unsatiated. They agreed to reunite an extended collaboration – a full-length show with Baker’s company, where Neufeld would write and perform music alongside Baker’s choreography. With the help of noted collaborators Pietro Amato, Jeremy Gara and Stuart Bogie, this earlier show would become the blueprint for Detritus, Neufeld’s most immersive work to date.
There is already no shortage of buzz around this exciting release; just this morning, Detritus received shoutouts in Pitchfork, Exclaim, and Under the Radar, among others. We have just 100 copies of Detritus on limited edition, magenta vinyl available at our online shop. Pre-order your copy today so you don’t miss out on this ultra exclusive pressing! 
ICYMI: one of your favourite POSTDATA tracks now has its own music video! Yesterday Flood Magazine premiered the new music video for ‘Nobody Knows‘. Playful yet ominous, this collaboration between POSTDATA and director and animator Christopher Mills is definitely a ‘covideo’ worth checking out!
