Vespers is an album about tragedy, written in the ashes of disaster and dedicated to her sister Jessie who passed away in 2024, aged just 35. It is the record of a life and death, an act of devotion and reflection.
Vespers is unvarnished, spare and elegiac, a testament of life and death. "The album is very specifically about my sister and my family's situation, but equally, that is universal," Liz says. "It is bewildering to me that grief and death, which happen to literally all of us, are still something we keep locked away. There's no room for it. You have to create that, and most people don't know what to do with it, even when they've gone through it themselves."
Vespers was written over a period of three weeks, its songs coming in a short burst, all at once, six months after Jessie died having suffered a serious accident in Ireland. Its music exists at the borders of the before and the after. The album features the singles ?Exploded Into Flowers,? ?Black Ulysses? and ?A Good One?.
