Tim Bowness and I are putting the finishing touches to a new album, a follow up to California, Norfolk<\/a> (a mere 14 years after its release!) We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve continued to write songs on and off together over the intervening years. Some have made their way to other projects (Slow Electric<\/a> and A Marble Calm<\/a>), while a few others have been hanging around waiting for the right arrangement. About half of the material has been written in the last couple of years, and I think is our best work to date.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll post more details on it later. In the meantime, California Norfolk was remastered by Mike Bearpark and reissued in 2014 with a a second disk packed with bonus content. We’re expect to have it available as a digital download very soon. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the full blurb:<\/p>\n

Originally released in 2002, California, Norfolk was the debut album from Tim Bowness (No-Man\/Henry Fool) and Peter Chilvers (Brian Eno\/Karl Hyde). <\/p>\n

Burning Shed’s first ever official cd release, available online only, the album quickly sold out and has been available for inflated prices on eBay for the best part of a decade. <\/p>\n

Combining electronic textures and found sounds with panoramic arrangements and poignant lyrics, the album’s synthesis of singer-songwriter intimacy and imaginative production values distinctively echoes aspects of The Blue Nile, Steve Reich, Laurie Anderson, Nick Drake, Peter Gabriel, and Brian Eno’s work. <\/p>\n

From the orchestral sweep of Hostage to the cinematic ambition of the 10 minute Winter With You via the slow-building intensity of Days Turn Into Years, the album forms a coherent suite of musical short stories that rates amongst the duo’s strongest work. <\/p>\n

Ballad Electronica, 21st Century Ambient Folk, or perhaps the soundtrack to the best film you’ve never seen, this 2013 double cd reissue features the original album (re-mastered by Michael Bearpark) plus Overstrand (a collection of alternate versions), unreleased material earmarked for a follow-up album, and an EP’s worth of live performances. <\/p>\n

Presented in a deluxe dvd-sized digi-book, which includes sleeve notes by Tim Bowness and Peter Chilvers in addition to previously unseen artwork by Carl Glover. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
