"Flood Zone" was recorded during the "Flying on Instruments" sessions in 2022-2023. It was one of my favorite tracks that we recorded, but ultimately it had to be cut because it was just entirely too long to go on the vinyl, and trimming it wasn't an option because I just love the outro too much.
This is a song about -- literally and metaphorically -- those that choose to ride out the storm. Though I began writing this song a decade ago, it feels entirely appropriate for this moment in time.

"The real strength of this album lies not just in the quality of the songwriting which is excellent throughout but also in Peters’ voice which has a beautiful timbre that’s packed with power and nuance. Stand out track ‘The Weight of This’ highlights this strength and control and reminds very much of Suzanne Vega in full flight."

"Peters has done an admirable job picking songs that showcase her clear voice and love for jangly guitar pop. Pulling off songs by bands as diverse from one another as the National, Patty Griffin, and the Eels is no easy feat. But, turning them into Americana Power-Pop tunes is Peters gift to us."

"Her pounding, melodic tracks have the intensity of short stories: laconic, gut-punching. This outing rails against Trump and populism, but it's also about fighting internal anxiety and resentment. Bolshy, blazing letters from the new front line."

"The Burden of Unshakeable Proof unfurls across 10 gorgeously sculpted tracks, a blissful shuffling of folk, pop and jazz bound together by Peters peerless voice."

Vanessa and the band holed up in a pop-up studio in a farmhouse in the Danish countryside and recorded 5 tracks live with no overdubs. "The Sentimentals are a really fluid, organic band, and they work well like that - they like to do two, three takes of a song, and then move on."

"Peters is a singular lyricist, a true wordsmith whose songs are, not unlike a fine blade, forged by fire and polished with purpose, dedication and love for both the art and the craft of writing."

Lush, layered songs that run the gamut from country-noir to catchy, jangly pop, all held together by Vanessa'a gorgeously textured voice and the incredible musicianship of Ice Cream on Mondays.
