With January Hunt

Liz Harris’s 12th album, Shade, gathers songs made over 15 years. Framed as rest and the coast, it examines how landscapes shape us and hold memory. Themes: loss, flaws, hiding, love. Strong ties to the Bay Area and North Coast—river mouths, storms, mist—evoke solitude and isolation. Recorded on Mount Tamalpais, in Portland, and Astoria, Harris blends voice, unease, and guitar into spacious, luminous tones—like a lighthouse casting images that veil human faults.
