Listen To Liz Green Stream 'Where The River Don't Flow'

'Where The River Don't Flow' - stream below - is taken from Liz's second album 'Haul Away', released on April 14 via Pias. Her highly acclaimed debut album of 2011, 'O, Devotion!', saw her emerge as a uniquely exceptional, “eccentric and rather magical” artist, to quote The Guardian. Since then

'Haul Away!' is about "Communication. Language. The Insufficiency of Words. Home. How to Fit in. Escape. Sea. Elemental Forces. The Edge of Something. Travel. The End of Something. Mythology. Love Lost. And Death," says the songstress herself. “Obviously, I like to throw some death in there. I don't want anyone to think I've changed too much. Actually, I think only one person dies on the album. The rest is open for debate. I’ve certainly shown them the way out. If they can’t find it, it’s their own fault!”

Her second album then continues to speak to her unique character (as droll as it is dark) while it also finds her becoming a piece of the continent, a part of the main by realising that these “Lonely little songs need some company”. Luckily they have it in the form of a band of friends, who accompany her voice – a wonderfully warm melange of styles - and newly grounded piano compositions, surrounding them in bass, saxophone, drums, tuba, trombone, cello and flute “like a life raft or armbands.” Some of them even sound like her “most cheerful” songs to date.

Even though she is reluctant to say so, 'Haul Away' is also of course about love, a glorious glass-half-full love, (one which sees anti-love stake its claim in unintentionally Nick Cave named album highlight ‘Into My Arms’) which she is destined to be on the receiving end of the moment people hear the it – from those already enamoured (Jo Whiley, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley, Nemone, John Kennedy to The Sunday Times calling her debut “sensational”) to the people waiting on those distant shores. And with that, another Liz Green chapter opens.
