BETH ORTON 'THE GROUND ABOVE' LP - 'CIGARETTE CURLS' SMOKEY/TRANSLUCENT/MARBLE

LABEL: Partisan Records
RELEASE DATE: 06/26/2026
VARIANT: 'Cigarette Curls' Smokey/Translucent Marbled Vinyl LP

If 2022's album, Weather Alive, lived underwater, suspended, spectral, and dreamlike, The Ground Above marks a resurfacing. It is Beth's most direct and unapologetic music to date; profoundly urgent, embodied, and powered by a new found strength. Where the previous record unfolded in a post-ictal, time-out-of-time dreamscape, The Ground Above finds Orton firmly back on land, taking a giant intake of air. It documents survival, integration, renewal, and acceptance without resignation.
