Hannah Cohen’s *Earthstar Mountain* invites you to experience a tranquil blend of timeless and contemporary sounds, all set against the stunning natural beauty of the northeastern United States. Having once called New York City home, Cohen now finds inspiration in the serene Catskill Mountains, where she creates music alongside her partner and co-producer, Sam Evian.
The record, created in their cozy Catskills studio, embodies a warm, inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and connection. Featuring contributions from artists like Sufjan Stevens, Clairo, and Shawn Mullins, *Earthstar Mountain* is a gentle reminder of the power of nature and collaboration in artistic expression.
In this heartfelt session, Cohen shares her intentions for crafting a soothing ambiance in the studio, her thoughtful approach to vocal performance, and gifts us with a live performance for World Cafe, spreading a sense of peace and mindfulness.
