Reveal

The new recordings on Before are a perfect contrast of mood and theme to the gloriously rich, full band pop sound of 2017's acclaimed Swimming In Mercury album. This new album finds Boo Hewerdine focussed on the art of reduction, consumed by fine details and found sound, songs where the fragility and beauty of life are laid bare with a stark emotive honesty. " Ingenuous and classy songwriting" (Louder Than War)

Before was recorded with supreme Danish multi-instrumentalist Gustaf Ljungren Boo's only collaborator on the set. Whilst this is an album for the times (that echoes the darkness and confusion in Europe surrounding it's pre-Brexit conception) Before is also a timely reminder of the power of simplicity, Hewerdine's lyricism set to a subtle backdrop of vintage instrumentation.
