More Info:

Set for release at the height of the season it's dedicated to, 'Music For Autumn Lovers' by Adam Scrimshire is an eight track album of lush, mostly acoustic based, minimal instrumentals eliciting a mixture of feelings for this special time of year. Scrimshire explains, 'Autumn resonates so strongly. There's something very distinctive in this particular change of season, maybe it's in how it holds so much 'back-to-school' energy all the way through to the primal urge to hibernate and nest on the cusp of winter. For me there are so many distinct, unique sensations and latent memories, smells, visions that I can never quite pin down but hit me repeatedly throughout the autumn months in the UK. The music in this album is an attempt to try and capture some of those things I struggle to express in words. The way the light changes as the sun comes lower. The way the air feels different as it cools after summer. The feeling of comfort despite the dying leaves and plants around us, making way for new growth. When it comes to the beginning of autumn, I have a short list of albums I go to every year when the time feels just right. There's a wistful sadness, a quiet energy, a warm resignation in their songs. I really hoped to make an album that could fill that space on the shelf for someone else. Something to come back to year after year.' Four tracks originally released on an EP in 2022 are joined by new compositions 'Hawthorn', 'Hazel', 'Willow' and 'Blackthorn'. Gently finger-picked acoustic guitars cosy up alongside pianos, synthesisers, strings and horns; filtered through an autumnal hue of susurrous production and effects. In turns comforting, melancholic and evolutionary; it feels like an album that can be kept being made and remade forever, like a season in itself. Tracklisting:A1. HawthornA2. HazelA3. HornbeamA4.
