GRAY, DAVID
GOLD IN A BRASS AGE (IHT RECORDS)
Gold In A Brass Age' is David Gray's eleventh album in a career that spans over 25 years, several Brit and Grammy nominations, and three No.1 UK albums, including for the breakout multi-platinum 'White Ladder'.
It is also a vital collection of songs from an artist still revelling in his passion for song-craft, pushing himself into unfamiliar terrain, surprising himself as much as his fans along the way.
Poduced by Ben DeVries, son of producer and soundtrack composer Marius, the album finds Gray in renewed creative form and is defined by an intuitive approach, exploring new electronic textures and sound palettes along with new production techniques in the process.
David began writing Gold In A Brass Age in 2016 and it was recorded over several months between tours, including a 50 date US tour and a co-headline tour with Alison Krauss in 2017.
Using a cut and paste approach to the arrangement of songs, the album's atmospheric and experimental undertones are evident throughout.
