Now residing in Brooklyn, Berklee College of Music graduate Nan Macmillan was first raised by the sea in Massachusetts, then spent her high school years in the hills of Southern California, before studying poetry in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The indie-folk-pop artist writes about the underlying threads connecting these chapters of her life. On her debut full-length album, From Both Eyes, Macmillan explores the dark and hopeful corners of her heart and mind with lyrical precision and intricate sonic landscapes. Co-produced by Hiss Golden Messenger’s Alex Bingham, her music offers a gentle and fierce combination of sadness and hope, reverie and reality, feeling resistant to time’s passing and finding the rhythm of it all anyway.
