Tremors In Copper. The new 9 track album from @jackson__almond out this week on @soundrecordsstroud. It was an honour to work with Jackson to produce this bloody gorgeous slice of blue. To be given an opportunity like this doesn’t come along that often for me, so I jumped at the chance. Having so much creative freedom to experiment and put together a piece of work that I felt truly complimented the music was a dream come true. We went through many iterations and various routes that didn’t quite make the cut, but I’m incredibly happy with what we landed on. Hopefully this vid gives you a tiny insight into the process! Get over to his Bandcamp page and smash that preorder button. It’s out TOMORROW!

Tremors in Copper is out next Friday.

Today is Bandcamp Friday, which means Bandcamp waive their share of sales for the day, so if you were thinking about picking up the record, today is a particularly lovely time to do it.

The vinyl is here, and pre-orders are open now alongside the digital release.

Thank you so much to everyone who’s already bought one, shared the music or said something kind about it. It means a huge amount to me.

Lastly a big thank you to everyone who helped along the way @auncemusic @hersey.jpg @monobrow73 @dmx_krew @aneek_thapar and all my @wotnotmusic family 🤍

Green Language / Self Projected is out today, featuring incredible production & vocals from @auncemusic

This track started life under a different name, The Conference of Birds. I’d been reading about David and Solomon, particularly the story of Solomon being taught the language of the birds, which led me to a Sufi poem called The Conference of the Birds.

In it à large flock of birds set out in search of a mythical bird which represents the divine. They have to pass through 7 valleys to find it which are used to map out an archetypal journey towards the self.

Quest: the decision to begin the search, where thought forms are born into physical reality.

Love: the abandonment of reason and logic, giving yourself over to something you can’t necessarily understand or control.

Gnosis / Knowledge: some things can only really be known through experiencing them.

Detachment: letting things exist without constantly trying to possess, preserve or control them.

Unity: the dissolution of the boundary between self and other. We witness and experience the world through one another and, ultimately, are part of the same thing.

Bewilderment: getting lost. The ideas and structures that got you this far stop making sense and there’s nothing obvious left to follow.

Poverty and Annihilation: having nothing left to cling to. No quest, no desire, and eventually no separate self doing the searching.

Eventually only 30 birds arrive and what they find is themselves reflected back at them. That idea fed quite deeply into Tremors in Copper, the B-side to this track, Self Projected, touches on the same theme.

Duality and non-duality come up throughout the record, along with projection, reflection, and the ways we experience ourselves through other people.

Towards the end of last year I met Hendrik Weber, @panthaduprince_official and we got talking about his album Conference of Trees. I loved the connection, but it made me want to find another way into the idea for my own track.

That led me to Green Language, or langue verte, an old esoteric idea connected with the language of the birds, alchemy, hidden knowledge. It is thought to be an angelic or divine language..

The next single from Tremors In Copper, Green Language, is out on Friday.

It’s 2 tracks with the inimitable @auncemusic & this is the B-side, Self Projected. This one’s not included on the album.

It’s about Projection / Mirroring and the broader idea: how much of what we think we see in other people is really ourselves reflecting back at us?

Sometimes mirroring can be a beautiful thing but a lot of the time, being seen too clearly by someone else can make us retreat behind the ego.

In the more mesmerising times, it helps us to loosen our grip on that version of ourselves that we try so brutally to protect.

Referring to an aspect of Human Design, Self Projected explores the distance between that defensive tension and the beauty in becoming grounded and open instead.

Part 17: Fall

For years, this was the story I would tell audiences before singing it live. Now the song finally has a life of its own.

‘Fall’ is out now.

I’ve been working on this for over a year now, it’s so good to finally see it coming out into the world and off my hard drive.

I forgot to mention the incredible artwork from @hersey.jpg but I’ll dive into that properly over the next few weeks.

Big thank you to @auncemusic @soundrecordsstroud @neonpumpsdj for all their work, support and belief & a huge thanks to @dmx_krew for the mastering 🤍

It’s no secret that finding a favourite new artist can be a particularly stand-out moment for many of us. And while there are loads of different ways to dig out musical gems right now, sometimes it’s handy to have an extra lil push in the right direction.

So, to celebrate the joy of discovering new music, we’ve teamed up with music promotion platform @musosoup, whose mission statement is to help shine a light on some of the lesser known acts in new music.

Now, as the year draws to a close, we’re sharing a final taste of some of the platform’s best new releases. Check out the recent tracks which have piqued our interest over on diymag.com now! ✨
