Felicity Cripps Band – Chasing Volcanoes

Australian songwriter Felicity Cripps Band unveils her album Chasing Volcanoes with her new video “Volcano (It Would Be So Nice To Die With You).”

A reflection of the power of humanity when we come together, ‘St. Christopher’ is another piece in the album’s dive into a connection to Earth and the universe. The full-length LP is out Thursday 22 August.

Out Thursday 22 August, Chasing Volcanoes is a heartfelt offering, shimmering with nostalgia and psychedelic tinctures. The title pays homage to the late volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft, a couple, who’s life’s work and philosophies also align with the album’s main themes – the search for meaningful connections with the world around us and portals into other worlds. Recorded and produced by Nick Huggins (Dirty Three, Jess Rebeiro, Jen Cloher) at Resting Bell Studio in Point Lonsdale the record was created over four years, through the birth of Felicity’s first child and owning and operating local Castlemaine arts institution Theatre Royal with her husband.

‘Making this record was a form of escape from the everyday throes of life – not that anything was bad, but it was a difficult time to navigate work, motherhood and relationships not only with my loved ones but with myself. Without those days making music and sitting in the studio with Nick, working and reworking the ideas in my head, I would have really struggled to find my sense of self again. This record was vital, hopefully not just for me, but for others also’
