After sharing details of her new album Swimming Towards the Sand dropping on October 17 via Fantasy Records, Rachel Bobbitt has shared a track off the LP, entitled “Hush.” Bobbitt will be playing tracks off the album on September 14th at Supercrawl in Hamilton, Ontario.

Swimming Towards the Sand recorded in Los Angeles with producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Future Islands, DIIV), but it is rooted in Bobbitt’s childhood in Nova Scotia. Written between call centre shifts, hotel rooms, and fleeting homecomings, Swimming Towards the Sand is a reflection on loss, girlhood, coming of age, the thrill of new infatuation, and the confusion and discomfort that accompanies it.

After studying Jazz and Vocal Pedagogy at  Humber College in Toronto,  touring with Men I Trust, Indigo de Souza, and Blonde Redhead, and navigating the music industry from her home base in Toronto, Bobbitt arrives at Swimming Towards the Sand with an unwavering sense of purpose. It’s an album that revisits her roots with the clarity of perspective, the wisdom of experience, and the lessons of resilience that can only come with time. It looks back with an eye both clear and nostalgic and reflects her memories via sharply contemporary music. On this album, Bobbitt wields her jazz-trained voice like a guitar or keyboard, layering harmonies in conversation with herself, for a poignant exploration of grief, girlhood, memory, and return.
