Meret Siebenhaar‘s sophomore album, Goodbye Lullabies, poignantly confronts the complexity of death and loss. Inspired by her brother’s tragic suicide, the album transforms pain into a powerful musical narrative, breaking the silence surrounding suicide and offering a refuge for remembrance and healing.
This introspective work features an ethereal blend of fragile piano, soaring viola, delicate electric guitar, and subtle electronic textures, crafted alongside collaborators Nora Vetter and Klara Germanier. The direct yet unembellished lyrics, sung in both Swiss German and English, resonate deeply as they navigate themes of vulnerability and resilience.
Recorded by Mario Bruderhofer in Emmenbrücke, the eight tracks encapsulate a minimalist and experimental sound that beckons listeners to immerse themselves in its depth. Goodbye Lullabies is not merely an album; it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and find solace in one’s own emotions, showcasing Siebenhaar’s gift for transforming the most intimate experiences into a shared sonic landscape.
