Fascinated by water, as a child she dreamed of being a mermaid, and there’s a distinctive watery theme running through her debut album, The Weight Of Hope. -notably on tracks like Barracuda and Lay Me Down. Recurring themes is just one of the many pleasures of immersing yourself in this evocative, allusive work. Self-effacing, but also rightly confident of her musical ability, she’s a perfectionist who also loves flaws… and she’s a bloody determined woman. As a girl, Hayley Ross was surrounded by so much different music and endless mix-tapes that she sometimes wouldn’t know who she was listening to. Her father loved Bob Dylan, and she had three older brothers; one of them into acid house, another into The Smiths and Talking Heads, and one introduced her to the Velvet Underground aged 12. “I heard that song, Venus In Furs, and thought ‘Jesus, what’s that!’ It really sparked something in me.” Music is also in her DNA on her mother’s side, with an opera-singing uncle who’d performed at Glyndebourne, and a great aunt who’d dazzled on the piano. Exploring further, Hayley fell in love with Nico’s distinctive voice on the Velvets’ All Tomorrow’s Parties, and the band’s lo-fi, feedback- heavy, jangling output. Which in turn pulled her towards Kim Deal and the Breeders, the Pixies and Yo La Tengo. She adores everything by Suzanne Vega and Tracy Chapman, and more recently the inimitable Frazey Ford. And she’s drawn to Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, “voices that get into your bones”. “When I was really young we had a church organ I used to tinker around on, one of those two-tier organs, which my uncle gave to us. It sat in our house and I used to while away the hours on that. I got my first guitar when I was 13.” Her approach to music is intuitive; pick it up, make a noise and be led by what feels right. She started making music in earnest in a studio in an old gin distillery in Deptford – then she was off and running… Four years in the making, Hayley Ross’ debut album, The Weight Of Hope features everything but the kitchen sink, as she’s become a serial hoarder of unusual instruments: stylophone, cigar box guitar, Korg monotron, melodica, plus borrowed harmonium – and musical saw and crystal wine glasses played by Nick Pynn. “He brought the wine glasses to the stuiod filled with water to different levels, on a box that was plugged in. He only lives down the road, so he carried it down, but its still quiet impressive”. Getting the legendary John Leckie to mix the album was another boost – especially as Hayley is a massive Stone Roses fan. Initially Leckie was only supposed to mix a couple of songs, but after hearing it he said he wanted to do the whole record – so he mixed all but one of the tracks. Mastering it at Abbey Road studios was yet another pleasant surprise. “So I haven’t ironed out the kinks” she says. “It’s not even a conscious thing, I remember listening to a tape of my dad’s, and someone had recorded outside with all the crickets on it, and it was one of the most beautiful things I’d ever heard. It doesn’t bother me if something;s slight off or out – it’s got a life…I prefer it warts and all.” Artist Hayley Ross Genre Rock And Pop Label Barracuda Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Dernier Baiser Moving All Around Barracuda Come Back Tumbledown Big Black Car Lay Me Down Jangled Kids Again See Her Light Go Slow Fierce Love Spartan Heart Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Moderate Rebels If You See Something That Doesn’t Look Right Rock And Pop | Moshi Moshi | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th April 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moderate Rebels If You See Something That Doesn’t Look Right £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Moshi Moshi SKU: MOSHILP111A Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Giveon Give Or Take Rock And Pop | Epic / Black Butter | 1LP Released 21st October 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Giveon Give Or Take £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Epic / Black Butter SKU: 19439917651 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets Live at the Roundhouse Rock And Pop | Sony CMG | 2LP Released 18th September 2020 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets Live at the Roundhouse £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony CMG SKU: 19075982711 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 18th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grandaddy The Sophtware Slump ….. on a Wooden Piano Rock And Pop | Dangerbird Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 19th February 2021 £16.00 Select options Grandaddy The Sophtware Slump ….. on a Wooden Piano £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dangerbird Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 19th February 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Uffie Sunshine Factory Rock And Pop | Company Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 20th May 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Uffie Sunshine Factory £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Company Records SKU: CHI16LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yoko Ono Approximately Infinite Universe (Indies Only) Rock And Pop | Secretly Canadian | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 14th July 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yoko Ono Approximately Infinite Universe (Indies Only) £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Secretly Canadian SKU: SC283LP-C1 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chris Carter Disobedient Rock And Pop | Mute | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd May 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chris Carter Disobedient £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: CCLP3 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roxy Music Flesh & Blood Rock And Pop | Back To Black | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd January 2017 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roxy Music Flesh & Blood £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Back To Black SKU: ROXYLP7 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Viv Albertine Flesh Rock And Pop | Cadiz | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 20th April 2024 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Viv Albertine Flesh £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cadiz SKU: CADIZ12270 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 20th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Tony Bennett Duets 2 Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 29th September 2011 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tony Bennett Duets 2 £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP399 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 29th September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
