Portland, Oregon’s Hayley Heynderickx is releasing her sophomore album, Seed of a Seed, on November 1 via Mama Bird. Now she has released another single from the album, “Gemini.” Listen below, followed by her upcoming tour dates.

While no quote from Heynderickx on “Gemini” was provided, a press release describes the meaning behind the song in greater detail: “‘Gemini’ is about imperfection, letting oneself understand and accept that there is no immutable beginning but one long, winding, journey full of mistakes. More importantly is the revelations that the deepest learning, and potential for growth, comes through the process of failure. Acceptance and growth churn under Heynderickx’s deft fingerpicking, at once melancholic and resolute. ‘Gemini’ is a reminder that every day is a new day, and that new day is ripe with potential.”

Heynderickx released the album’s title track in July. It was one of our Songs of the Week. The album’s “Foxglove” also made our Songs of the Week list.

Seed of a Seed follows Heynderickx’s 2018-released debut album, I Need to Start a Garden.

Heynderickx’s core band on the album was Daniel Rossi on drums, Denzel Mendoza on trombone, and Matthew Holmes on electric and upright bass. The album also features electric guitarist William Seiji Marsh and Caleigh Drane on cello.

The album is due out digitally on November 1, with a physical release scheduled for December 6.
