| "Middle of the Lake" is off Martha's latest album, Love Will Be Reborn which she'll be presenting in Toronto November 30. |
Here's the scoop...
The video for “Middle of the Lake” was filmed just outside of Montreal in Esterel, Quebec. The opening track sets the stage for a record full of revelations – both light and dark - and chronicles Wainwright’s personal journey over the last few years as she finds a way to move forward after a painful divorce. About the track, Martha explains, “Inspired by a strange covid summer morning at a surreal lake house in the Laurentians when I was stuck in a canoe in the reeds alone and happy. I knew that I would be back on stage again singing at some point and that that was the thing that would save my life. On this song me and the band are dancing, moving and flying through the uncertainty, but then landing together safe and sound.”
Like most records this year, Love Will Be Reborn was made during the pandemic and recorded in Wainwright’s hometown of Montreal, in the basement of her brand-new cafe, Ursa, which also served as a studio. Enlisting the help of Toronto musicians Thom Gill, Phil Melanson, Morgan Moore and Josh Cole and producer Pierre Marchand, best-known for his collaborations with Sarah McLachlan producing some of her iconic 90s songs.
Marchand also has a familial connection to Wainwright, having produced her brother Rufus’s second album Poses as well as Wainwright’s mother and aunt’s record, Heartbeats Accelerating. It was a record made after some time, much like Wainwright’s gap since 2016’s Goodnight City, and McGarrigle was the same age that Wainwright is now. It seems like a musical synergy only the late McGarrigle and Wainwright could have.
