Hear It First: Heather Nova Releases ‘The Archaeologist’

An indie rock contender throughout the ‘90s, Heather Nova shot into the new millennium a rising star in the U.S. and Europe. Born to a Canadian mother and a father from Bermuda, she grew up on a houseboat and used singing and music as a means of entertainment throughout her childhood.

Nova is releasing her 10th album, The Way it Feels, July 24. The set combines Americana, a bit of dark folk, distinctive vocals, and Nova’s trademark songwriting. It was recorded in Charleston, South Carolina with producers Josh Kaler and Jay Clifford. Yahoo Music is delighted to debut the track “The Archaeologist” for fans to enjoy.

"The Archaeologist" is a haunting song about delving into the complexities of a relationship. Heather says: “I took my son to see Pompeii and I was really moved by the experience; The feeling of lives and dreams being cut short and buried under the earth. The role of the songwriter is in a way to be an archaeologist - to dig below the surface and dig up the truths of what lies below"
