Coppermill Tower, the second single from my album Strewn with Crimson, is out today on SWIMS.

A huge thanks to Katie English for the lovely bass flute contribution.

Strewn with Crimson is an exploration of place, shaped by the wetlands, marshes and edgelands along the Lea Valley in East London. The album weaves together site-specific field recordings, found object sounds, modular synthesis and processed acoustic instruments to create an evocative sonic portrait of a landscape in constant transition.

The single is available on all streaming platforms and on bandcamp, where you can also preorder the album on CD or digital ahead of its 27th November release.
