Vines, has finally released her debut album, I’ll be here. The artist describes the LP as deeply personal and cinematic in scope, inspired by the likes of (Grouper and Beth Gibbons ). to Celebrate the release, the artist has shared Vines is confirmed to play this year’s Basilica SoundScape festival, and before then, she’ll play an album release show at NYC’s Berlin on July 24th (with special guest Holland Andrews and Phong Tran).

The New York-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Cassie Wieland crafts deeply resonant and open music–the kind that invites listeners in to listen, reflect, and share in the journey of learning through living. This aspect of work perhaps partly explains why one of her songs went viral on TikTok last year, a rarity for an ambient artist. Wieland zeroes in on themes of anxiety, loneliness, navigating human connection, and having to grow up from a young age, ultimately coming to a place of acceptance. And though it began as a journal written in solitude, her collaborators shape the music with her.

I’ll be here was co-produced and recorded with Wieland’s longtime collaborator Mike Tierney, a four time Grammy nominated engineer who has worked with artists across the contemporary classical and experimental scene like minimalist pioneer Steve Reich, LA’s preeminent classical en
semble Wild Up, and various bands on Bang on a Can’s Cantaloupe Music label. Percussionist and composer Adam Holmes and violinist Adrianne Munden
Dixon are two other longtime collaborators who are frequent fixtures of her live show. Holmes plays synths, drums, and banjo; in live settings, his kit is loaded with elements of the songs that are then triggered by MIDI, making the music an interactive, evolving experience. The album’s
gentle, filamented edges are colored by Munden Dixon, whose poignant string me lodies elevate Wieland’s introspective compositions, as well as cellist Helen Newby, saxophonists Julian Velasco and Jordan Lulloff, and bassist Pat Swoboda.
