While the style and instrumentation of ‘70s Brit folk are touchstones on Senior’s forthcoming album, Pt. Roadknight, her disarming lyrics are fresh and wholehearted, wrestling with modern concerns of gentrification and isolation while finding solace in the quiet beauty of the Victoria surfcoast town where she lives. Though this is her first album with a U.S. label (released jointly by SPINSTER and Australian label Third Eye Stimuli), Leah Senior has been a shining star of the Australian folk scene for the past decade, touring extensively and sharing international stages with the likes of Wilco, Iron & Wine, Simon Joyner, Jessica Pratt, and King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard. On Pt. Roadknight, her fifth studio album, Senior explores her introspective, nature-loving side while honing the singular baroque psych folk that has captivated listeners around the world. The spirited lead single “Mothersong” kicks the album off on a high note, with Pentangle-esque guitar riffs, flute fanfares, and evocative blood harmony between Leah and her sister Andi Senior. Leah and her longtime musical collaborator Jesse Williams wrote the song to ease a friend’s anxiety as she transitioned into motherhood. Musically the duo set out to create a timeless and rollicking folk rock anthem they might play in 40 years as the long-time resident psych folk band at a local seaside festival. Both intentions come through in the song’s music video, which finds Leah and her bandmates in Victorian nursery attire, playfully engaging in a mother’s Blessingway ritual complete with giant puppets and Jodorowsky references.
