Camilla Wickman - Red Rock, Seal Skin (2025) [Hi-Res]

"Red Rock, Seal Skin" began as a university project relating the ecological writings of Terry Tempest Williams, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Mary Oliver to personal meditations on their own transition out of organized religion.

The result is an eleven-track cinematic dream sequence through Celtic and Scandinavian folkloric archetypes, familial memories, fables, and concealed histories of a colonized Utah. Occasionally confrontational, Red Rock, Seal Skin is a post-Mormon’s earnest inquiry into the nature of rootedness after rupture.

Camilla’s sound is suspended between lilting orchestral folk, jazz, and jagged, 70’s-inspired progressive rock, joining a chorus of eclectic songwriters like Weyes Blood, Mitski, Anaïs Mitchell, Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos, and Fiona Apple.
