London-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney, returned to a family retreat, a rustic, eighteenth-century cottage in the hills of the North Yorkshire Moors, to write the songs for this album that features eight original songs, plus Chaney's interpretations of Purcell's 'O Solitude' and Frank Harford and Tex Ritter's 'Long Time Gone,' first recorded by the Everly Brothers. This release follows her collaboration with the Decemberists under the moniker Offa Rex.
