My new single Pale Wind uses the acoustic guitar to evoke that complex feeling of calm exhilaration and deep reflection in a wide open landscape of big skies and silence, but for the wind.
My new single Forgotten Roads evokes a sense of quiet exploration and open spaces, with a hint of nostalgia and the beauty of the overlooked or untraveled.
My new single ‘i can help’ is out today! The cover is a photo I took of some graffiti at a train station in Portugal. It reminded me of Minsky, the alien robot from season 3 of Fargo, who roams the Earth for centuries, only ever saying ‘I can help’—but is always ignored and abused amidst the chaos of human history.
Recorded on a fabulous little Taylor Academy nylon-string guitar, with a single studio mic and blended Strymon Cloudburst and BigSky pedal reverbs to create the space and emotion I was looking for.
‘…the acoustic guitar on this track does two things. It creates space, timelessness, room to breathe, but it also tells a kind of story of memories and times past, inviting the listener to project onto it their own inner worlds, which is perhaps why so many people find this song so personal and moving’
Cyfnos is a Welsh word for twilight or dusk. In this acoustic guitar recording I’ve tried to capture the sense of intimacy and belonging inspired by the cover picture, which I took of a moonrise on a calm, cool evening on the west coast of Wales. Releases on 2nd February 2024 wherever you get your music.
