"The sweetness of Heather Nova consumed the indie rock market throughout the 1990s, and into the new millennium she was a rising star across the globe. Born to a Canadian mother and a father from Bermuda, Heather Frith used singing and music as a means of entertainment during her childhood. She was born in her father's native land on July 6, 1967, and spent the next 16 years of her life aboard a 40-foot boat with her parents, brother, and sister. Her imagination was tested and music was her calling. She incessantly listened to taped records from her mother, later crafting her own songs by age eight. By 14, she was learning to play guitar and was a fan of Neil Young and Jimmy Cliff. Two years later, she and her family returned to the States, where Nova enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Performing Arts and began studying visual arts. One to be taken by a moving image and art itself, Nova shifted creativity into writing music, but music for films. A closet songwriter of sorts, Nova was quick to realize that she could mix her love for film and music for something solid. To make her dream come true, she moved to New York City and adopted her mother's maiden name."

"Live From the Milky Way is a chilling depiction of singer/songwriter Heather Nova's ethereal vocals and brooding performance for which she made herself known for throughout the late 90s. This six-song EP captures Nova circa 1995 at a gig in Amsterdam, illustrating her most honest and passionate social inclinations. All cuts are raw, exuding Nova's vibrant sensuality and birdlike choruses found on 1994's Oyster. "Sugar" and "Verona" are cathartic for Nova, rousing guitar riffs and hearkening lyrics twist her internal angst into something surreal. She is an individualist, presenting her material with a calm, yet impacting approach. Live From the Milky Way is a sonic seascape of pinch-hitting throws and thumping hooks, and Heather Nova was well on her way in establishing herself as a prominent lyrical visionary in the female rock circuit."
