I have just finished recording my second album, Migration and intend to release that in 2020. With that in mind, I’ve decided to re-release Wilderness in October 2019 to build on the great year I’ve already had. Building a profile as a small, independent artist is a slow process and the re-release coincides with a small, intimate tour that I have been organising. I always intended to release singles from Wilderness but was not in the position to do that through the earlier part of the year. So, I will be releasing Wilderness and the first single, Embers, on October 4th 2019, followed by two further singles to support the re-release. Those who have already bought the album will be able to download the re-release for free and I will also be releasing a limited-run of vinyl which will be available from my website, Bandcamp and on the tour.

I thought I would take the opportunity to share an update with everyone. I am currently recording my debut album Wilderness and will be releasing it through Bandcamp on January 11th.

The record is written and produced entirely by myself and I am recording the full ten tracks in a small, tenement flat in Edinburgh; lo-fi epitomised! Wilderness is one of three full-length albums I am recording over the next two years and releasing on my own label, Samuel Escher Recordings Ltd.

For now, I will leave you with the artwork from the upcoming album, drawn by Melanie Caple (melaniecaple.com) ; a wonderfully talented Australian artist who puts into pictures what I can only say with words.
