Brooklyn émigré Alexandra Stewart is due to release her lush debut, Wàbà, in the fall. This idyllic Canadian village, named after the Algonquin word for "white," is the backdrop for this tumultuous memoir.

Wàbà was recorded on a small country home and farm in Frenchtown, New Jersey by Alexander Overington, mixed by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Timber Timbre) in Montreal, and finally mastered by Joe Lambert (Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective, Lia Ices) in Brooklyn, where it currently resides.
