Mind Palace Design - Allison Crowe + Band album art

Mind Palace Design

It’s a rare gift to move people around the world with your voice, your words, your music. It’s a rare artist who can maintain such a gift, full-force, as Allison Crowe’s done for nearing 20 years.
On such a journey, a special group of people come together as a team. Here’s a look at the creativity of Mind Palace – the brain-child of Céline Sawchuk – Allison Crowe and Band’s graphic artist/designer (and former cellist):

“There is hope,” writes musician Allison Crowe. “That word keeps coming up. It makes me think that maybe it’s real. It is resilient. You can try to leave it out but it keeps putting itself back in place. You can try to deny it but it won’t stay buried.” Crowe’s writing her first book, “Fluttering” about which she says: “There's a few paragraphs that are just sort of thinking out loud but, for the most part, there's either poems, prose, thought pieces, or stream of consciousness.” She’s composing, as well, for her next album – the artist’s 22nd on Rubenesque Records’ label. “Rare Birds” brings together again her brilliant bi-coastal band for concerts and recordings. Right now, here’s one of music’s great voices and one of rock’s great songs – “Secrets (That Aren’t My Own)” – a previously-unreleased version from Allison Crowe and Band’s “Heirs+Grievances” sessions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsnxX21C9Ko
