About Lindi Ortega:
Lindi Ortega's latest album, From the Ether, released on October 18, 2024, via Nashville-based Truly Handmade Records, ventures into a spectral, ghostly realm. A sonic tapestry of lilting melodies, poetic lyricism, and organic percussive textures, the record is a mesmerizing fusion of eerie beauty. Produced by acclaimed Austin-based percussionist Mike Meadows known for his work with Willie Nelson, Hayes Carll, and Shawn Colvin, the album pushes the boundaries of traditional roots music, embracing a haunting, atmospheric quality that is distinctly Ortega's own. Fans have also recently been treated to her 2024 collaborations with rising prodigy Jack Barksdale, offering spellbinding renditions of Tom Waits "How's It Gonna End" and "Yesterday Is Here."
The past year marked Ortega's poignant return to music following a prolonged hiatus brought on by vocal struggles, the profound loss of her father, and the dissolution of her nearly five-year marriage. These deeply personal challenges became the crucible for her artistic resurgence, reigniting her passion for songwriting and performance. Once again, music became her refuge, an old companion through which she could channel grief, resilience, and rebirth.
As she looks ahead to 2025, Ortega is poised for an exhilarating chapter. A spring-summer tour is on the horizon, alongside the anticipated release of her forthcoming record, With A Vengeance. Already recorded and slated for release later this year or early next, Ortega describes it as her darkest, most unfiltered work to date.
