Karine Polwart, Dave Milligan, Pippa Murphy - Windblown (2026) [Hi-Res]

This musical and poetic work serves as a valedictory tribute to a 200-year-old Sabal palm tree, brought to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in the early 19th century and now facing destruction. The project features performances by vocalist Karine, pianist Dave Milligan, and sound designer Pippa Murphy. By tracing the tree's lifespan, the release explores profound themes of colonial legacy, ecological stewardship, grief, and resilience.
