Dorthia Cottrell releases new song ‘Harvester’

April 1, 2023 James Weaver

DORTHIA COTTRELL has released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Harvester, is taken from the WINDHAND vocalist’s upcoming new solo album, Death Folk Country, which is scheduled to be released later this month, via Relapse Records.

Speaking about the new song, Cottrell says, “where I’m from, and probably most rural places in the U.S., there is a strong Christian religious presence, whether you identify as being religious or not, and it was always my feeling that that has a lot to do with being surrounded and immersed in nature and every part of your life being at the mercy of it – even when it is merciless and brutal. When you’re surrounded by something so vast and beautiful, the presence of ‘god’ and whatever that might mean to anyone, is blatant and undeniable. To me, ‘god’ is nature and God is Mother Earth, so also to me, when I’m back home or anywhere like that I feel deeply the presence of my own idea of spirituality, the wonders of it and the feeling of being something small in the face of something totally out of your control.

That’s what Harvester is about. Bad or good, in the patterns of nature you can see the patterns of all life, maybe even the patterns of the universe too, and that symmetry to me is god, and I’m grateful for it.”

All songs on Death Folk Country were written and played by Cottrell and recorded and produced by Jon K. and Cottrell at SANS Studios in Richmond, Virginia.
