@vpceb2c5e: Thanks! Harry Tarlton (UK) produced the EP tracks :)

for me there is no question, you are a adorable artist

A new track I've been working on in my new studio space. Written with Snoop in mind...

Heavy Swing

Fetherstone, in collaboration with London-based producer Harry Tarlton, presents 'Two Hands on Deck’, the fourth instalment of her self-titled 4-track EP. Under the guise of Fetherstone, her new electronic-pop-folk infused persona, Australian songstress Briana Cowlishaw brings the tradition of the troubadour storyteller into the modern electronic pop genre through her innate passion for storytelling. 

The single was featured on the Richer Unsigned August 2017 Highlights playlist, which was then later hand picked by Newton Faulkner to feature on the Richer Unsigned record store day vinyl compilation, April 2018. 


A note from Briana.... 

Often as artists we think we need to go the road alone, tough it out and struggle to make things work on our own, because we should be capable, right? In this fight to be strong enough, good enough, noticed, credited as an artist, I often find myself lonely, doubting my art and it's validity. 

This song is about letting that go and celebrating collaboration. Letting people in to bounce off, create with and feel like you are part of something bigger than yourself. This track is intended to capture what it feels like that moment you let go - a feeling of release, weight lifted from your shoulders, excitement, playfulness ... and potentially a little party dance to celebrate!

LYRICS 

The road is speaking, 
It talks to me. 
The road, is whispering, 
Change tactics. 
Go on, and open, 
Those doors you’ve been watching oh. 
Cause doors don’t open themselves. 

I’ve been rowing my canoe, 
Without knowing where I’m going to. 
I’m sinking under soon I’ll have to, 
Throw my ore in. 

Cause I don’t need another morning crying here alone. 
So take my hand it’s easier to steer a boat with two. 
Two hands on Deck, oh. 
Two hands on Deck, oh. 

A rose is blooming, 
Just cultivate the soul. 
It’s opening. 
A chance to feel alive, again. 
Feel the power in your hands. 
This road was made for us. 

I’ve been rowing my canoe, 
Without knowing where I’m going to. 
I’m sinking under soon I’ll have to, 
Throw my ore in. 

Cause I don’t need another morning crying here alone. 
So take my hand it’s easier to steer a boat with two. 
Two hands on Deck, oh. 
Two hands on Deck, oh. 
Two hands on Deck. 

Help me, let me, keep moving forward. 
Help me, let me, move on. 
Help me, let me, keep moving forward. 
Help me, let me, move on. 

Cause I don’t need another morning crying here alone. 
So take my hand it’s easier to steer a boat with two. 
Two hands on Deck, oh. 
Two hands on Deck, oh. 
Two hands on Deck.

Love Flush

This song is troubled and twists with chopin influenced introduction . It lifts with a euphoric release towards the end to sooth the soul.
All about getting older and judging yourself, searching for answers which you will find after the breakdown before the final chorus .

01 - Annique - 01 Push It Away

Fetherstone releases “Ticket to You” the first single of her Unspoken Stories series, collaborating with artists and musicians to interpret strangers stories.
 
Unspoken Stories will see Fetherstone travelling to different cities around the world, searching for stories from friends and strangers. She will team up with songwriters, producers and artists of other mediums to bring those stories to life, record and release them, and then travel back to the city where the story came from to perform the song.
 
The first single “Ticket To You” is a story from a 9 year old girl in London, Nikita Charles, about visiting the Jimi Hendrix museum. Nikita's original words, describing Jimi Hendrix’s room and how it made her feel, were workshopped by Fetherstone and fellow songwriters Henry Mitton & Alex Gillespie. The song reflects the absurdity of paying to visit a dead famous persons old home when it might be as plain jane as yours and mine. The track was produced with London based engineer and composer Luke Brooking (aka Brew) over the past 6 months, a real labour of love from Fetherstone. 
 
Try your best to compare the song to another artist or genre, but nothing quite fits. Part jazz, part pop, part electronic, this is just the first of a very interesting series of music to come. The Berlin story is next on the way.  
 
The single is due out Friday 30th November 2018 with a single launch on 3rd December at The Fiddler’s Elbow, Camden. The launch show will explore storytelling through a live vocal painting, a Nashville style songwriter round, an exhibition of Lee Kay-Barry oil on canvas paintings and a set from Fetherstone to close the night. Tickets available at www.fetherstone.com.

LYRICS

Phone’s on the floor,
Something he said?
Four poster threads were hanging,
Over his head.

Pan on the stove,
Empty and cold.
The pieces of another lifetime,
Their stories have been told.

Ha, ha, ha.

CHORUS
I don't need these walls, these halls,
If you could see what you have come to be. 
They don't need to walk your halls,
There's more than what the eye can see, I got a ticket to you. 
(I got a ticket to you) 

Garden's overgrown,
The post goes unread.
Was it the way I acted or something I said?

No cheques in the mail.
No portraits have been made.
Will they | come to find my humdrum story,
Or will it go untold?

Ha, ha, ha.

CHORUS

SOLO

CHORUS

Ha, ha, ha.

Unspoken Stories

Ticket to You

Ticket To You (Unspoken Stories)

George Gershwin's classic for electric guitar and voice.

Someone To Watch Over Me (Live)

Endure (DEMO)

First single of upcoming debut album Energetic Mind. 

Commenting on the track, Stewart says: “I wrote it on an extremely hot summer’s day in my very small sweaty music room at my house in Sydney. All I wanted to do was be at the beach having refreshingly cold things (like ice cream...) but I was too hot to do anything about it.”

Energetic Mind

Ice Cream

Fetherstone combines jazz, pop, folk and electronica to showcase a very personal, modern expression of her luscious songwriting and sublime vocals. Working as a seasoned jazz vocalist and composer in Australia since 2009, Briana Cowlishaw moved to the UK in 2015 where she started a new musical adventure; Fetherstone. The project is named after Bri’s grandmother (Edith Featherstone/Cowlishaw), a renowned printmaker in Australia, and is what Bri channels all her creative energy through; songwriting, painting, performing and creative play. Fetherstone’s debut EP was produced by UK’s Harry Tarlton (Union J, WarnerUK), followed by 3 singles released between 2018 and 2020, and she is now about to release her first self produced body of work, "Full Turn", due out 1st June 2023.

The album "Full Turn" is a fusion of songs and interludes, capturing the essence and energy of the places where Fetherstone’s stories came from; the frantic streets of London to the quiet and serene bush in the Australian Blue Mountains. Ambitious at heart, Briana Cowlishaw started the journey of learning how to produce and mix her own music 3 years ago during the pandemic lockdown, which has allowed her music to tell raw and personal stories about her connection to nature, finding resilience through darkness, the bumpy and joyful road of being an artist and the cycles of death and rebirth. “Full Turn” was recorded, produced and mixed in a marriage of home studio setups between Sydney, Central Coast NSW and Berlin, alongside Berlin based Aussie singer and producer, Matilda Abraham.

Performances in Brighton, London, Sydney, Melbourne, Prague and Brno have seen Fetherstone utilise a 5 channel vocal loop pedal and beats machine to craft stunning vocal arrangements of her songs, as well as acapella arrangements of covers from her artistic role models, such as Madison Cunningham, Phoebe Bridges, Tom Misch, Lianne La Havas, Emily King, Bon Iver and Joni Mitchell.
