Blue Tomorrows is the recording name of songwriter and producer Sarah Nienaber. Her third album, Weather Forever, gathers sonic experiments made over several years and two landscapes. On a cosmic scale, acoustic and electric melt into each other: gentle, babbling electronics, synth hugs, opaque guitars, and massive reverb cumuli live in blissful harmony with acoustic guitar, upright piano, and the human voice. But here, in a big change, Nienaber explores a palette of warm electronic vocal treatments, and her voice becomes one with the nature of her music. The album is out December 12th, 2025.
With a new album slowly approaching, Nienaber releases the hauntingly beautiful “Owl Creek Blues.” With the vocals that peer from around the simplistic instrumentation, with care in their eyes, and the warmth that radiates from the lo-fi, collage-style arrangement, the artist fearlessly marches into new territory that already feels like home. While the gentle, lush synths and nimble drums create that welcoming, minimalistic atmosphere that takes over the room, “Owl Creek Blues” is anything but simple. Nienaber is detailing complex, painful emotions in these lyrics and delivering them with a longing that anchors this ethereal performance in reality. Just as your mind begins to float away on a cloud of plush vocals and hazy basslines, Nienaber’s vocals grab your hand and pull you in for a slow dance through romantic textures. “Owl Creek Blues” is just one piece of Weather Forever, an album that is already shaping up to be a landmark release for Nienaber.
