"Storm" is Heather Nova's follow-up album to "South" and her first independent record since departing from the label V2 Records. Nova financed the "Storm" album herself and released it in a handful of countries. The large United States market was not included. However, in 2007, Nova reported on her official website that she was working out a way to distribute her releases in America.

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 a radio-friendly sound (that dominated "South") 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 rather than succumb to commercial pressures (which Nova cited as being her reason for leaving her previous label.)

Upon the release of "Redbird", an article written in promotion by Nova's record label offered a sales figure of 400,000 copies for "Storm", a strong figure for an independent release with limited distribution and lack of any radio play for the single.Fact|date=November 2007
