Beyond The Break
'Beyond The Break', the second full-length album by indie folk artist and fingerstyle guitarist Kristin Daelyn, is a statement of rare tranquility and wisdom, atmosphere and grace. In these eight compositions the Philadelphia-based songwriter takes influence from solo guitarists such as Leo Kottke and John Fahey as well as writers à la Mary Oliver. Through instrumental pieces that highlight her virtuosity as a player and elegant folk songs that showcase her gifts for tender pop melodies and emotionally incisive lyrics, Daelyn's voice feels both urgent and timeless.
