Alt-pop artist færy returns today with ‘anam cara’, the third single from her debut album rising, pre-order here, due for release on 31st October. Listen here.
Under the music moniker færy, Australian artist, actor, writer and filmmaker Liana Cornell unveils this latest taste of her forthcoming album, which follows debut single ‘blýth’ which dropped in 2023 and ‘Ostara’ earlier this year.
“anam cara” is a Gaelic phrase that describes the idea of a soul friend, considered by ancient Celts as an essential part of spiritual development. According to St Brigid of Kildare, patron Saint of Ireland “A person without a soul friend is like a body without a head”. In the case of færy’s new single, “anam cara” refers to the relationship and subsequent love of the self.
“anam cara is an offering of the deepest love one can feel, the love of the self” said Cornell of the track. “I wrote this song to start a conversation about how sexy self-love can be, how it can spill onto others, and how the romantic love so many of us strive for is ever-present within our own hearts.”
“We love others only as deeply as we can love ourselves, so to feel the depth we each desire we must first meet that level within ourselves. An ocean of love is available to us deeply within always, in all ways.”
Recorded in Cornwall with London-based writer/producer Will Vaughan (Oliver Tree, Dorian Electra, KSI, Mae Muller), the sweet sounding single uses frequency 639 Hz, which is associated with harmonious relationships, connection, heals trauma and the heart. With whispery, ethereal vocals over a rolling composition that includes the delicate sounds of nature, ‘anam cara’ is grounding, mellow and light in all the best ways.
Hailing from Byron Bay, Liana Cornell is an established actor, writer, filmmaker, and environmentalist, known for her roles in series such as Britannia, Wolf Creek, House of Hancock, Love Child, Schapelle and more. In 2021, she released the Refugia project and an accompanying documentary series, focusing on good environmental works undertaken by unsung, everyday heroes and celebrating communities and companies dedicated to nurturing nature. færy, her foray into music, is her new creative evolution. færy makes music that feels like it’s being pulled from deep within you – part untamed spirit, part mythological rebel. ‘anam cara’ is the third single from færy’s debut album rising, slated for release on Thursday 31 October 2024.
