AISHA BURNS - Argonauta

Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and currently residing in Beverly,
Massachusetts, violinist, vocalist and songwriter Aisha Burns began
playing violin when she was 10 years old, and has been touring and
recording since 2006. Soon after moving to Austin in 2005, she gained her
start with folk-rock outfit Alex Dupree and the Trapdoor Band, and joined
the instrumental ensemble Balmorhea on violin in 2007. After years of
secret singing, she released her solo debut Life in the Midwater in 2013.
Called "twisting, ethereal...arresting" by Dazed Magazine, and praised for
its "delicate intimacy" by NPR, Life in the Midwater explored mortality and
relationships with candor and wisdom. Her new album Argonauta, is a
collection of songs about her struggle with the grief of losing her mother,
while also navigating a new relationship, and ultimately trying to figure out
what the new normal is for her life. Burns explains, "Argonauta is the child
of a strange chasm in my life, the space where both unfathomable, debilitating
loss and new love and hope reside. In an attempt to process this
romantic love, the loss of my mother who lived her life as my confidant and
dearest friend, and the hope of someday gaining acceptance of life's
ever-shifting cycles, these songs emerged. I had to write this record to give
voice to the depression, anxiety and uncertainty I endured while grieving. "
