Angela Autumn

Angela Autumn has always been drawn to the mountains. Raised in the Appalachian region of western Pennsylvania, she channels that landscape in her voice, funneling the timeless influence of mountain streams and rolling foothills into her genre-bending folksongs.

With her second album, though, she proves she's every bit as interested in the modern age as tradition. Believer is a musical melting pot of a record, blending the mountain music of Autumn's past with the hybridized sounds (including indie, psychedelia, pop, and gothic country) of her present. Audiences still call her "The Rose of Appalachia" — a nickname that nods to the Allegheny roots and clawhammer banjo skills that helped her blossom into a critically-beloved solo artist — but Believer showcases the other flowers in her garden, making room for keyboards, cello, and billowing clouds of reverb.

The result is an eclectic record that captures Autumn in full bloom, pushing beyond the primitive twang of her Appalachian influences to chase down a cross-pollinated sound of her own making.
