Gemma Hayes - Bones + Longing - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Mercury Prize-nominated singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes has shared details of her long-awaited sixth album Blind Faith, set for on LP and CD. Having taken the time and space she needed to figure out what she wants to tell the world. Hayes has plenty to say, with Blind Faith diving into themes of longing, empowerment, freedom and repression. While Hayes's songwriting is as personal as ever, it's abstract nature allows the listener to sink into each song, immersed by tender guitar picking, eerie synths and swooning cello. It's made all the more remarkable given this is Hayes's first album in a decade.

Berlin-based Brit Gemma Ray's eighth album is a panoramic self-produced autobiography that takes in harmony-laden 70's pop swagger (Blossom Crawls), gothic surf disco (Death Tapes), sci-fi synthscape meets Girl-Group dramarama (Dreaming is Easy), psychedelic torch songs (Land of Make Believe), Gershwin meets Dark Side of The Moon meets Gainsbourg (It's Only Loneliness), and more besides. Gemma Ray draws connections between mindscape and landscape throughout this record, as reflected in the album's title.Blossom CrawlsDeath TapesIt's Only LonelinessIn ColourDreaming Is EasyPsychogeologyFlood PlainsLand of Make BelieveRoll On RiverSummer Comes
