Beyond the Break, the gorgeous new album by Philadelphia, PA fingerstyle guitarist, singer & songwriter Kristin Daelyn, is now streaming everywhere!
Beyond the Break is a statement of rare tranquility and wisdom, atmosphere and grace. In
these eight compositions, the songwriter takes influence
from solo guitarists like Leo Kottke and John Fahey as well as writers
like Mary Oliver, whose poem “Patience” inspired the single
“Patience Comes to the Bones.” Through instrumental piecpiecest
highlight her virtuosity as a player and elegant folk songs that
showcase her gifts for tender pop melodies and emotionally incisive
lyrics, Daelyn’s voice feels both urgent and timeless. Like a well-loved
paperback passed between friends, her songs are open to reflection and
personal annotation, designed to be of use.
"If you need more beauty in your life, and who doesn’t, why not check out Beyond the Break?" — Dusted Magazine
"Philadelphia-based folk artist Kristin Daelyn’s Beyond the Break pushes through the environs we call the soul like a quiet but compelling storm. Accented by her deft fingerstyle guitar play, the eight-track set collects stirring instrumentals and contemplative songs, the kind that—in another era—would have oscillated through the late-night airwaves of progressive rock radio alongside works from Jackson Browne, John Fahey and Joni Mitchell." — The Old Grey Cat
