Tabitha Booth & Wax Majestic - Highway To The Heart [EP]

“Amanda Palmer may be the ‘Girl Anachronism’, but Tabitha Booth established herself as the formidable queen of orchestral indie” – A & R Factory

“a culmination of skill, vulnerability, and compassion” – BloodMakesNoise.net

Introducing Tabitha Booth and Wax Majestic’s powerful new EP, Highway to the Heart. Wax Majestic is a trio featuring Paula Croxson on flute, Ricky Wells on electric bass, and Angel Lozada on drums. Wax Majestic joining forces with Mint 400 Records’ singer-songwriter Tabitha Booth, they’ve crafted a sound that will take your ears on a journey from oblivion straight to the heart.

The EP also features notable session musicians: Rebekah Stickler on violin, Edwin Lopez Villada on organ, and Jacob Hemmerlin, who contributes the majority of the electric guitar.

Highway to the Heart—named after its title track—is a tribute to artistic perseverance amidst a culture of instant gratification and shifting identities. The lyrics explore themes such as PTSD, victimhood, and empowerment, culminating in a poignant cover of Siouxsie and the Banshees‘ “Cities in Dust.”

The single, “Highway to the Heart,” was inspired by a transformative experience at a yoga ashram in Colorado in 2016. Now, in 2024, Tabitha Booth and Wax Majestic unveil their collaboration with this evocative, four-track EP, recorded, mixed, and produced by Corey Zack (The Cocoon, Jersey City) and mastered by Ryan Kelly ( Garden Sound Studio ).

Musically, their sound echoes the atmospheric intensity of Florence and the Machine, the brooding complexity of Portishead, and the exploratory spirit of Psi Com and early U2, blending these influences into a unique and captivating experience.
