After the release of her second album ‘Hold Everything Lightly’, followed by a national tour last year, Australian indie-folk songstress Isabel Rumble returns with ‘Patience Peaceful Breathing Slow’, a delicate and meditative new single out Friday, April 10.

The new track arrives ahead of an extensive international run, with Isabel Rumble set to take her album on tour across the UK, Ireland and Europe following a series of Western Australian dates and festival appearances in April.

With this run of shows for her second album, it feels only fitting to share ‘Patience Peaceful Breathing Slow’, a song written and recorded during the same period, shaped by the uncertain space she found herself in as her debut album was released into the world in 2023.

“‘Patience Peaceful Breathing Slow’ was written as I began to make my peace with winter,” Rumble says, describing the uncertainty she experienced after releasing her debut album. But it was when she came across a story in Women Who Run With the Wolves about “sitting with an idea and gently rocking with it until clarity returns” that the meaning of that in-between period began to shift. She continues:

“This song was my permission to tend to the parts of myself I’d neglected in the busyness of releasing my debut album. It feels appropriate to let this one into the world now at the completion of my second album.”

As the title suggests, ‘Patience Peaceful Breathing Slow’ is poised, lulling and calm. Lush cello and bass open the track, intertwined with an ambient, slowly building piano line. The orchestral arrangement carries throughout, creating a soft, melancholic undercurrent to the dulcet folk sound that Isabel Rumble has become known for. Magical and mellifluous, her direct vocal delivery flows around the arrangement, further accentuated with mystical harmonies.

The title is repeated many times as the chorus of the song, in a trance-like, meditative way. ‘Patience Peaceful Breathing Slow’ becomes a mantra for clarity, creating space for reflection.

‘Patience Peaceful Breathing Slow’ is out Friday, April 10, and it is a reminder to breathe in, breathe out, and move with care. All international tour shows TBA.
