Beth Orton on Ryan Adams' behaviour, Andrew Weatherall and her new album 

'I have specific feelings about what it means to be a woman in this industry and I do think things need to be called out'
Beth Orton on Ryan Adams' behaviour, Andrew Weatherall and her new album 

Beth Orton releases her eighth studio album, Weather Alive.

Beth Orton’s eighth studio album Weather Alive has been five years in the making. The Norfolk-born singer-songwriter first came to prominence with Trailer Park (1996) and Central Reservation (1999), two albums that helped define the era for many.

She suggests an uncomplicated approach towards songwriting which first began with just an acoustic guitar on those early records. The 51-year-old returned to that more simpler methodology after finding “a beaten up old piano” in Camden Market which now sits in a shed at the bottom of her garden.
