Abi Muir’s debut EP To You is the result of a distinctive collaboration between the then 17-year-old pop artist and members of progressive rock/post-hardcore band, Forest. Written and recorded during her final years of high school in a self-built vocal booth in her parents’ garage, the project blends pop sensibilities with the instrumental complexity of progressive rock. With support from a Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) grant, Abi brought the five-track EP to life alongside David D’Amore (drums), Peter Bullis (keys), Kyle Rohan (guitar and bass) and guest artist Anita Wachtler (cello). “It was definitely a challenge to pop-ify them,” Abi recalls, “but we found a creative and unique sound that highlights drums, keys, and strings alongside my vocals.” Designed to be experienced in sequence, To You takes listeners on an empath’s journey through the emotional rollercoaster of adolescence.
