Out of the Woods

"The new album, Out Of The Woods, is my first solo project since A Distant Shore (1982) and features me working with a few different producers/collaborators, to come up with a record that (I hope) is a true reflection of who I am right now and what I love right now. There's some serene techno emptiness from Martin Wheeler (Vector Lovers), a bit of modernist heartbreak house from Alex Santos, an amazing pastoral arrangement of flutes and flugels by Charles Webster...I've done 2 songs with cagedbaby (Tom Gandey) one a kind of shimmery piece of Scritti Politti-style pop called Raise the Roof, and the other a downtempo lament about gay teenagers getting bullied at school, called A-Z. But my main collaborator/producer is Ewan Pearson, and we've done seven tracks together." - Tracey Thorn
