Within critically acclaimed 2017 release, Shanti’s Shadow, Phoebe Hunt intimately revealed her inner journey through meditation and musical exploration. Her upcoming release, Neither One of Us Is Wrong, takes flight from this personal introspection and casts reflection on our society that Hunt deems the duality of the ‘outer world’. 

“I see music, and art in general, as an opportunity to interpret and transmute the experiences we collectively encounter as we journey through life on this planet at this time.”

Recorded in Brooklyn, NY at the Grand Street Studio with her tribe of musical companions, The Gatherers (Roy Williams -Guitar/Vox, Dominick Leslie - Mandolin, Mandola, Octave Mandolin, Sam Reider - Piano, Organ, Accordion, all things keys, Dave Speranza - Bass, Jared Engle - Bass, Rachel Loy - Bass, Nicholas Falk - Drums, Stephanie Hunt, Jazz Mills and Sierra Hull - Vocal Harmonies, Mike Barnett and Ethan Jodziewicz - additional strings), Neither One of Us Is Wrong speaks to the deepening polarity of the time we live in. The album’s title track was co-written with Hunt’s long time mentor, Lari White Cannon, just before she was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2018.  

“This song speaks to the reconciliation of unknowable sorrow that comes from intense and sometimes oppositional forces that nature herself presents”  

Using a song as a metaphor for the key to our search for divine expression ‘beyond all understanding of melody or song’ Hunt relays the way in which what we face in our world is beyond the grasp of the logical mind. If we cease struggling to make sense of our world, but rather tune into this nuanced and logic-defying realm, deep change can occur. This subtle realm, or liminal space, is the space between physical and non-physical existence.

“Between the black and white of a yin/yang symbol lays a thin line, a gateway to transformation, where truth is revealed and transmutation occurs.” 

Accompanying Neither One Of Us Is Wrong, Hunt is releasing a series of ‘dreamscape reality’ music videos that invite exploration of this liminal space via the subconscious mind.

“Through this album, it is my hope to connect as deeply as possible with the most diverse group of people I can find.  It is only when we make connections with those who we cast aside as ‘other’ that we can bridge the divide so prevalent in our current reality.”
