Episode is the debut solo album from Blaenavon's Ben Gregory. An album expansive in scope, it explores the singer's own relationship with close family, personal identity and mental health. Produced by Ben with Blaine Harrisson of the Mystery Jets, the album juxtaposes expansive pieces such as InchBlue Sea BlueInch, which is by turns Nine Inch Nails, King Crimson and The 1975, and intimate moments such as InchMother's SonInch, which applies modern production styles to the intimacy of Elliot Smith's raw confessionals, all centred by the unique vocals, devotion to melody and prodigious musicality of this most special of artists. Following the dissolvement of his prior group and his experiences of being sectioned, this is an album of real candour, bravery and also optimism from an artist refreshed and hopeful. Album Tracks 1. Storm of Conversation 2. Blue Sea Blue 3. ((Fall Way 'Til Morn..)) 4. Manifest* 5. Deathbed Hangover 6. Mother's Son 7. Smoke 8. God Bless You

Ben Auld writes songs whose heartbreak and wonder reveal themselves moments after the warmth of their beauty sinks in, like slipping into the ocean on a bronzy morning. Whether he's singing about bookstores and porches or ghosts and space stations, the Bristol, UK-based singer-songwriter imbues his straight-to-tape gems with a radiant AM pop warmth. And on Lemongrass, due 9/16/2022 via Earth Libraries, that comfy songwriting crackles and pops somewhere between Roger McGuinn and Gram Parsons. Auld's debut record brims with homespun charm, dazzling melodies, and lyrics that burrow deep into the heart.Throughout the album, the immaculately arranged compositions provide the perfect frame for smooth and rosiny vocals. Utilizing a series of reel-to-reel tape machines, Auld chose to meticulously stack his instrumentation rather than simplify; some songs have dozens of instrumental tracks, all assembled on tape. InchI'd record three tracks, bounce that over, and then record another three. I did it alone and it took a long time to figure out what was possible,Inch he says. InchI went through two four-track recorders, an 8-track 1/2Inch reel-to-reel, and finished the album on a TASCAM 388. One of the biggest challenges of the album was fixing all the broken old gear.InchWith each new listen, Lemongrass becomes a fonder friend, Auld's heart-on-his-sleeve lyricism and intimate songwriting building a deeper nest. InchThe time is ours/ Our time is now,Inch he insists on the psychedelic wonder of InchOur Time Is NowInch, more certain and wide-eyed than urgent. Through first love and heartbreak, dawns and apocalypses, Lemongrass keeps turning, collecting flickers of astral bliss with each rotation, Auld's thumping heartbeat at the core.1. You're A Ghost2.
