The nine-track album was produced by <a href="spotify:artist:59FeKdChfWED6sfb6QQbzj" data-name="Anthony da Costa">Anthony da Costa</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:4TCXgdDPm10ensLNCVnIYa" data-name="Joy Williams">Joy Williams</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2gqMBdyddvN82dzZt4ZF14" data-name="Yola">Yola</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6nFBonVf7Lqaj05R0v5VGJ" data-name="Sarah Jarosz">Sarah Jarosz</a>) and recorded throughout 2020 in Nashville and in Suz and David’s homebase of Charlottesville, VA. It is a stunning and poignant collection of songs, an emotional tour de force, displaying Suz&#39;s breathtaking lyricism, multi-instrumental breadth (on fiddle, accordion, piano, and harp), and her ability to weave some of life&#39;s most difficult moments (traumatic childbirth, a best friend&#39;s suicide, and her own public struggle with bipolar disorder) into an Americana masterpiece. From the first ethereal plucks of harp to the soaring and epic title-yielding closer &#34;Now It Is Morning,” from the rollicking, radio-friendly &#34;Beautiful Mess&#34; rooted in a koan from mythologist Joseph Campbell, to the psychedelic, nature-infused &#34;Telescope,&#34; Our Wings May Be Featherless boldly showcases an artist coming into her own as a much-needed voice for compassionate engagement with the world and the self.
