Like the great folk singers before her, Heynderickx's music centres on poetic introspection. Her words are profound, at times stark, juxtaposed with the comforting, tender quality of her sound. Her 2018 debut, I Need to Start a Garden, showcased her lyrical prowess through songs like "The Bug Collector." Six years later comes Seed of a Seed, and it's a revelation.
Oregon's Haley Heynderickx arrived on the scene in the midst of the indie folk explosion that was 2016-2018. Giants like Fleet Foxes, Big Thief, Bon Iver, and an upstart Phoebe Bridgers walked the land. Presuming you missed Heynderickx's self-released Fish Eyes EP, she landed squarely in the folky fury at the beginning of 2018 with her debut album, I Need to Start a Garden.
