One year ago, New Amsterdam Records and Eclipse Projects released Big Majestic by Ellen Reid. It’s a transformative and meditative work that finds Reid exercising her towering compositional command and casting her unique voice into fresh shapes as it traverses the worlds of ambient, jazz, post-rock, and minimalism.

At times mystical and psychedelic or solemn and reverent, Big Majestic is a generous and transportative album. Throughout, Reid revels in the freedom of space and the power of gesture — crafting a marvelous and versatile work that does justice to these beloved and wondrous natural sanctuaries.  Says Reid: “Big Majestic is an invocation — this theme is the heart of the composition. It invites you to sink into the resonance of your surroundings.”
