tom mcrae - an artist rightfully recognised for his intelligent song craft and remarkable vocals - returns with his eagerly awaited fourth studio lp 'king of cards' on v2 records. written by tom mcrae and produced by sean genockey whose previous credits include manic street preachers, kula shaker and suede - 'king of cards' is an album centred round escape, identity and disappearance. his most accessible work to date, its a stellar collection of instantaneous melodies and heartfelt lyrics, all driven by toms unique voice. "most of my records are a reaction to the one before, and i was in a pretty dark place when i wrote the last lp" tom says. "this time i was spending more time in new york, just getting some distance from everything i'd done previously and letting the songs come out as they happened. all the songs were written in a 5 month period at the start of last year. i wanted to write in a different way to usual, just to see if i could make something more upbeat, energetic and eclectic. for me every record has to be slightly different, even if it means leaving your comfort zone and trying something unfamiliar." influenced by contemporaries that include nick drake, nick cave &amp; the bad seeds and jeff buckley, album highlights include the thundering piano keys of 'bright lights' the dylan-esque heartbreak of 'deliver me' and 'the ballad of amelia earhart' - a vibrant, lyrical masterstroke.
