Every universe begins with a singular point, a quiet corner where instinct speaks loudest, where existential imagination can stretch its limbs. For acclaimed harpist and songwriter Mikaela Davis new album, Graceland Way (due April 24th via Kill Rock Stars), that singularity was a hillside home in Chevy Chase Canyon on the titular street, a spot nestled in Los Angeles County where time slowed, the world fell away, and Davis could create from a sense of warmth and passion. Graceland Way is the product of weeks spent watching dusk settle over the hills, encircled by the totemic presence of the studios pet black cat: the ever-watchful Bubu, a symbol of witchy good luck and quiet protection. The canyon country epic born of that work ties a neo-western future back to the lineage of Laurel Canyon, the mythos of Elviss Graceland, and Paul Simons restless reinvention. And across that grand sweep, Graceland Way explores the fragile humanity-defining balance of light and dark, grace and struggle, rose and thorn, as well as the mystical power found at their nexus. The precise origin of Davis musical big bang comes in the form of Glendales UHF Studio, home of producer/bassist Dan Horne. Davis other trusted collaborator in the process was noted guitarist John Lee Shannon. The trio co-produced Graceland Way, a cozy braintrust that made the songs flow intuitively. The studio was in Dans house, and we would just stay for a couple of weeks and work when the spirit moved us, she explains. It was a really fun way to work, and the best part was having Bubu there. Hes our best friend. Graceland Way also marks the debut of the Davis-Shannon songwriting partnership, the pair finding the albums message as her harp, his guitar, and their joint melodies unfurled. The songs were written from our personal experience, but together they tell the arc of humanity, she says. The album tells the story of a character that any listener can identify with. Thats immediately evident from the opening track
