The Uncle Sold

Teedubyabee Just a few days with The Obvious I made me buy everything else available. Beautifully haunting LP. The rainfall on leaves, echoing piano and Ed's voice on Bastard Harbour is just something else. Favorite track: Bastard Harbour.

about

This is my debut solo album, released in January 2017 on Lost Map Records. It takes its title from the 1995 Kazuo Ishiguro novel The Unconsoled, a unique and inspirational book that takes the reader on a continually evolving, dream-like journey around a non-specified city. Recorded in London at studio spaces in Dalston and Haringey, it’s a sometimes wistful, sometimes sad, sometimes uplifting and at all times surprising listen that paints a picture of a range of characters struggling for certainty in a metropolis beset by continually changing forces, be they political, personal or financial.

“affirms the talent and ability of this accomplished, bold and starry-eyed visionary” - the Quietus
“absolutely extraordinary… atmospheric, surprising, unexpected” - Lauren Laverne, BBC6 Music
“compelling... a thoughtful, thought-out piece of work” - Drowned in Sound
“a gently beautiful collection of stolen snapshots of glimpsed futures and lost pasts” - The Skinny

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
