“Weather Alive” is the British singer-songwriter Beth Orton’s first new music in six years, and a high point in a long career that took off like a bottle rocket in the ’90s.
Beth Orton, the British singer-songwriter, was in town recently to play songs from her new album, “Weather Alive,” at Bowery Ballroom. The day before the show, she Ubered up to the New York Botanical Garden to visit the Thain Family Forest, the last remaining fifty acres of old-growth woodland left in New York City. Orton, a gamine-ish fifty-one, who lives with her family in London, had dressed sensibly for November in New York.
A sign said that the Thain forest “remains a magnificent reminder of the resilience of nature in the face of complex human-caused disturbance.” “Old growth” is a slippery concept. It doesn’t necessarily mean old trees, although the Thain forest has its share of arboreal O.G.s. One thing that defines a forest as old growth, and the thing that made this one of special interest to Orton as a metaphor for her life in music, is its ability to renew itself.
“ ‘Overlook this way,’ ” Orton said, reading another sign. “Always head toward the overlook.” She did.
