Rising Appalachia to Release 'Leylines'
by Kaitlin Milligan - Feb 14, 2019
Sisters Leah and Chloe Smith, known musically as Rising Appalachia, are proud to announce their new full-length album Leylines, releasing May 3rd, 2019, and the album's first single “Harmonize” releasing today. Leylines, the band's seventh studio album, was produced byJoe Henry—the album title alluding to the concept of invisible lines believed to stretch around the world between sacred spaces, bonded by a spiritual and magnetic presence. That deep sense of connection is key to understanding Rising Appalachia as a whole. The video for “Harmonize”, the first single from Leylines, premiered today at Rolling Stone. 'We wrote 'Harmonize' as a love song and a rite of passage into a higher form of that love,” Rising Appalachia note. “It's about the calling forth of truth, inspiration, fantasy, and honesty from the depths of a person.” Rolling Stone says the track “highlights their brand of acoustic folk and the natural vocal interplay.” Watch/listen here.
