Storm is Heather Nova's follow-up album to South and her first independent record since departing from the label V2. Nova financed the Storm album herself and released it in a handful of countries. The large United States market was not included.
Simple and bare, the album is pure raw folk/pop. The lyrics are still typical Nova. The album itself was a collaboration with the band Mercury Rev.
The lead single "River of Life" did little to help album sales due to its lack of radio-friendly or commercial ability. Nova fans may interpret the lack of pop flourishes to be a testament to a love of music and her desire to further develop as an artist.
The album sold 400,000 copies, a strong figure for an independent given the limited distribution and lack of radio play for the single.
