Renata Zeiguer’s new album ‘Picnic in the Dark’ – her second full length with Northern Spy – is a sonic dreamworld infused with magical realism that tells a very personal narrative. It is a culmination of a lifetime of reckoning with her past and her unwavering resolution to transcend inherited patterns and cycles that have held her back. Co-produced with Sam Griffin Owens (Sam Evian), the twelve songs lead a mystical conversation between characters within her psyche that all center around this process, which she whimsically likens to the ritual of having a picnic in the dark. Integrating her child self into her adult life with immense compassion and enlightenment, 'Picnic in the Dark' is not only an album of exploration but one of transformation, healing and self-actualization, all through a courageous journey towards that extremely uncomfortable yet fertile liminal space between familiarity and uncertainty.
