About Lÿra

The actual doing

Lÿra Elöwen writes about work. Not the idea of it — the actual doing: hands in soil, a bent stalk staked upright, a cup left broken in a drawer because mending it would finish something. Her songs are plain-spoken and closely observed, built on harp, cello and a voice recorded near enough to hear the breath.

Born of Earth is her debut: twelve songs about being the person everyone relies on, and what that costs. It moves from what she gives, through what it takes out of her, to what she decides to keep.

The Sound

Indie folk and chamber folk, elven at the edges, built on violin and cello. The range runs from bare harp and voice to full arrangement, and stays acoustic at its centre.

Before the album

Echoes of the Forest — Ethereal Version

Bonus track from A World Forged in Fire. Harp, voice and forest ambience.
