Phantom Forest is Lydia Ainsworth’s first album, since relocating from Toronto to Los Angeles. The LP is themed around the precarious state of nature in the modern world introducing a lush, complex dream world that the singer, composer, and producer created and inhabited largely on her own.

Ainsworth produced Phantom Forest herself, and wrote all the songs with the exception of the closing track “Green Is The Color,” a Pink Floyd cover, and “The Time” and “Give It Back To You”, which she co-wrote with Kyle Dixon of Survive (Stranger Things).

“Can You Find Her Place”. Its inspiration came from Ainsworth’s love for Italian Renaissance painter Botticelli’s 15-century masterpiece “Primavera”, an allegorical representation of the burgeoning fertility of the earth in spring. She notes: “The video features the Greek gods of the painting in a choreographed Baroque style dance.” Keeping with the personal feel of the collection, her sister Abby Ainsworth directed the clip.
