Adam Beattie has announced his new album ‘Somewhere Round the Bend’, due for release on November 27th, it comes fresh off the back of two collaborative albums – one as Pica Pica alongside folk musician of the year, Josienne Clarke, Grammy-nominated producer, Sonny Johns and singer/songwriter, Samantha Whates, the other as part of Scottish supergroup Band of Burns.
‘Somewhere Around the Bend’ a lush, dreamy, cinematic, tender, twisted, rootsy and contemporary album is a reflection of all Beattie has loved and lost on his voyage to perfect his craft.
“‘Somewhere Round The Bend’ refers to the imagination stretching back into the past and forth into the future. The songs are intended to all transport you into their own unique world, they are all set in a very different time and place”, says Beattie.
The rollercoaster of emotions he experiences along the way echoes through to the album’s diverse instrumentation. Watch the accompanying title track video below, which also opens the album, a strong and promising lead track, it has an unmistakable Lynchian vibe that would fill Tom Waits with envy, one for the city’s underbelly and a smoky downtown post-midnight gin-joint…impressive stuff and also our Song of the Day!
The album ‘Somewhere Round the Bend’ is out on 27th November.
