Trixie Whitley (albumrelease)

New album ‘Folded Time’

Trixie Whitley has been travelling through time for years. She weaves her way through the wormholes that bridge traumas from the past and joy in the present, dismantling and rebuilding her life through words and music. “A lot has happened since I last released music, endings and new beginnings, which aren’t always very pleasant,” she says. “But through it all, I had music.”

The result is Folded Time, due for release on a date yet to be confirmed via Unday Records, a nine-track LP ‘about loss and a new perspective on things’, she says. ‘From my relationships to politics: you can find that reflected throughout the work. The past seven years have really been a process of coming to terms with my own repressed thoughts, who I am as a mother, and how that changes my view of the world.’

“Because ultimately, wounds can only heal once we acknowledge that they exist, and only then can we set the healing process in motion. And for Whitley, that healing process is embodied in her music. “When I sing and play, all sorts of aspects of my femininity come to life in a deeply felt way and feel exactly right,” she says. “I struggle with my own power, and that has also been a big part of this journey over the past few years: facing up to my own power and not being so afraid of it — the girl I was, the woman I’ve become.”
