Today, Montreal musician Ada Lea dropped her second album called one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden (So very Fiona Apple like with long titles) via Saddle Creek and Next Door Records.
A raw emotional nerve ending album that showcases her songwriting.
I get this Phoebe Bridgers kind of vibe on the album too.
About the album:
Inspired by personal experience, daydreams, and Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels, the lyrics across one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden center storytelling on a bigger scale.
The experience and emotions of a year are communicated through Levy’s vignettes of city life.
Her prose is centered in its setting of the St. Denis area of Montreal as it draws up memories from local haunts like Fameux, La Rockette, and Quai des Brumes in rearview reverie.
She creates a balance through the album’s year by splitting her songs evenly into four seasons.
one hand on the steering wheel the other sewing a garden charts unavoidable growth that comes with experience.
It’s both a collection of walking-paced, cathartic pop/folk songs and a book of heart-twisting, rear-view stories of city life.
