Ooh this is exciting. I still listen to Every Kingdom every so often but didn't really check out everything since then so maybe I need to do that before his return!

He's one of those names I've heard a lot about, but have never actually heard any of his music laugh.gif (as far as I'm aware) - any recommendations?

Really?
He's my 2nd favourite artist wink.gif I still listen to him all day every day and can play all of my favourite songs of his on guitar wink.gif

I'd recommend his first album Oin Every Kingdom. That album is perfection. a masterpiece, a 10/10.
Sadly he peaked with that. He's 2nd is not bad and has a bunch of great songs, but his 3rd album was a let down.

Best songs:Keep Your Head Up, Promise, Only Love, Bones, Oats in the water, End of the Affair.

Promise is the best album closer ever



and his performances on Jools Holland are classics!

Very exciting! I really warmed to his last album after it took me a long long time to get it properly.

I suspect he'll be treading a similar path again, it would be good to see him experiment a little more with some electronic touches in his music as I think he'd suit it well.

I thought his last album was very experimental tbh

definitely he'll never do anything as pop / radio-friendly as his debut

‘Only Love’ is a absolute classic and will still be around in 50 years imo.

Loads of new music coming this month as expected.

Oats in the Water is also one of his best and most popular songs, despite not being on any album, as it was used on The Walking Dead

Which episode was that used on again?

I’m sure it was in the last album though?

Oats in the Water is from the Burgh Island EP, which was released as a stepping stone between albums 1 and 2.

from wiki:
The song "Oats in the Water" was used in the fifth episode of Season 4 of The Walking Dead television series in 2013.

Hasn’t struck me on first listen I’m afraid. Hope it’s a grower

love it on 1st listen, quite cheerful upbeat song, really not what I expected but it's great
Dressner is really expanding as producer
