"This record is a collection of songs having come through a quite difficult period of my life, the trilogy of records that came before this one (
The End of Trying
,
The North Green Down
, and
The Side of Her Inexhaustible Heart
) documented a very sad time for me and my family. However this new record, while not exactly 'disco,' does, I hope, contain a more positive outlook in general. I do feel everyday is a painful struggle, but people bring me kindness and I wanted to reflect that also. The songs are once again a small window into specific cinematic moments I have lived through, but I also tried to think more about the different atmospheres I have been creating in isolation and to fuse them more sympathetically into one record. I had become tired of the conventional 'band' structure of these types of songs, I didn't want to revert to tried and tested methods but to push towards something a little bit more interesting to my ears. This record is an attempt to expose the core of the song as it was intended, so at times I recorded many versions of the same song but most often ended up using the stripped-down versions and exposing my voice and guitar as solo instruments more frequently. I have also historically avoided electronic instruments, but I find that I have always listened to synthesized music as far back as
Brian Eno
's early ambient series and more latterly with music from people like
Four Tet
, so on this record, I allowed
David
[
Buxton
] more freedom to inculcate the record with organic and generated sounds, if he felt it would enhance the song. I am glad that I did. I also had the pleasure to play with various people like
Quentin
[
Sirjacq
] again,
John Shepard
as always, but even new friends like
Dag Rosenqvist
. Everyone took it someplace I wouldn't have ended up alone. These songs once again are all small hymns to my trusted friend and partner for life,
Johanna
, she for whom all my songs are small gestures with which to thank her for her grace towards me, which is constant. She's a remarkable woman and without her I would truly live a silent life, it is she who saves me every morning from something much more bleak." --
