AM Higgins : first hike in colorful hills for “Peaks & Plains” 14th May 2021

Victorialand Records welcomes AM Higgins, a remarkable singer-songwriter from Chicago (US) and Najac (France). Today, she presents a joyful opening statement with a new song ‘Peaks & Plains’ taken from her first album to be released October 8th « Hymning ».

The accompanying video is a buoyant stomp in the wilds outside her home in southwest France, through a forest, past a river and up a stunningly colorful hill. It's a re-enactment of the song's actual formation: Higgins had a frivolous but persistent melody in her head and found the lyrics for it on a hike. The song is meant to remind you that you're not alone.

Annie Meredith Higgins is an American songwriter living in France. She writes dream-like songs that nudge you a bit closer to the cosmos when you hear them. The warmth in her voice is a petition for rest. There’s a poetic mysticism in her lyrics that speak to the wild mysteries embedded in nature. The music, made with the help of her collaborators, is a soothing yet energetic patchwork backdrop of organ baths, drums, electronics and empty space.
