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 Bolis Pupul Letter To Yu Rock And Pop | Because Music | 1LP Released 8th March 2024 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bolis Pupul Letter To Yu £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Because Music SKU: BEC5613338 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Monkees, The The Monkees Rock And Pop | Sundazed | 180g, 1LP Released 19th July 2016 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Monkees, The The Monkees £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sundazed SKU: SUNDAZEDLP5045 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention Live At BBC Rock And Pop | BRR | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th December 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention Live At BBC £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BRR SKU: BRR4000LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th December 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Red Sparowes The Fear is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer [10th Anniversary Re-issue] Rock And Pop | Sargent House | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th June 2020 £21.00 - £24.00 Select options Red Sparowes The Fear is Excruciating, But Therein Lies the Answer [10th Anniversary Re-issue] £21.00 - £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sargent House Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th June 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Briana Marela Call It Love Rock And Pop | Jagjaguwar | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 4th August 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Briana Marela Call It Love £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jagjaguwar SKU: JAG306LP-C1 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Carwyn Ellis & Rio 18 Mas Rock And Pop | Banana & Louie Records | 1LP Released 19th March 2021 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Carwyn Ellis & Rio 18 Mas £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Banana & Louie Records SKU: B&L006LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Andy Bell The Indica Gallery EP (Pye Corner Audio Remixes) Rock And Pop | Sonic Cathedral | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 9th April 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andy Bell The Indica Gallery EP (Pye Corner Audio Remixes) £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sonic Cathedral SKU: SCR173 Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Carole King Tapestry Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th February 2021 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Carole King Tapestry £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19439840701 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th February 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Stevie Nicks Rock A Little Rock And Pop | Modern Records | 1LP Released 24th April 2024 £7.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Stevie Nicks Rock A Little £7.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Modern Records SKU: nn285554 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Paul McCartney Wings Over America Rock And Pop | UMC | 3LP Released 12th July 2019 £47.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul McCartney Wings Over America £47.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 7728869 Formats: 3LP Released Date: 12th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
