For She Is Wrath

A man who spent his formative years in prison for murder is released, and struggles to adjust to the outside world and escape his lurid past. He gets involved with a cheap dancehall girl, and when her protector is accidentally killed, they go on the lam together, getting jobs as farm labourers. But some fellow workers get wise to them.

Belle Plaine is an amateur sky-watcher, always wondering what’s beyond. “I’ve been loving looking up at Mars lately,” she says. The Saskatchewan-raised songwriter, who grew up in a remote Canadian prairie town of 45 people, has a knack for living dynamically. She’s a jolt of unending electricity bounding from one location and creative pursuit to the next. Her upcoming album, Malice, Mercy, Grief & Wrath, out October 19, is her third full-length release, and is proof of her steadily evolving progression from her small town prairie roots to being an internationally-known bandleader, collaborating with guests such as Colter Wall, Kacy Anderson, and Megan Nash.
