Hi friends - hope all good :)
Super happy to share that the next artist to give us their interpretation of quiet details is the wonderful multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist Andy Cartwright - here as Seabuckthorn.
Out next Wednesday 17th April, digital and CD with unique long-form edition and fine art-print. Listening party Thursday 18th April 19:00 UK time - link to come.
Seabuckthorn is widely know as one of the most innovative and creative musicians working today, releasing albums on many leading labels, doing scores for theatre and film, and performing live in many countries - guitar being his main form of expression by using a wide range of extended techniques, and also many other instruments.
‘this warm, this late’ sees him take all this expertise and apply it to the quiet details concept with dazzling effect.
An album of stunning and evolving pieces - from perfectly judged and fluent melodic work to deep drones and soundscapes - this album breathes in an exquisitely organic and human way. We also see a guest appearance from Phil Cassel, bringing double bass and trombone to join Andy’s ensemble in the most complimentary fashion.
It’s a huge pleasure to share this with you, it stands unique in the series and shows the possibilities of the idea in such original hands.
Here are a couple of albums from Seabuckthorn’s back catalogue that go some way to showing Andy’s beautiful musicality.
More next week friends!
