California-based indie-folk artist Hayden Everett is inspired by the natural world and human connection. Everett’s goal is to create music that makes us feel alive, grateful for our relationships with each other and earth. The natural rhythm of nature and its sounds inspire Everett’s songs, as he aspires to create music that is beautiful and complex, while also simple and meaningful. A formally trained jazz musician, Everett masterfully intertwines his roots with folk, indie and pop sensibilities. ‘Heaven On My Own’ captures the concept of optimistic nihilism: if there is nothing after death, then there is substantially more weight to the moment, because now is all we have. Living like there’s nothing later creates a striking sense of meaningful presence - the people around us become divine and the earth becomes a gift...“Forever starts to kill my appetite.” Featured vocalist Jemima Coulter delivers beautiful harmonies that are both ethereal and soulful. Electronic production elements are juxtaposed acoustic guitars and piano, reminiscent of artists that inspired Everett, like Bon Iver.
