About this product
The songs comprising Keeley Forsyth's debut, are, she states simply, Inchlike blocks of metal that drop from the skyInch. Minimal arrangements place that elemental voice front and centre. Nerves are quietly frayed over it's running time; an intimate document of personal change, we're held in limbo until the final note is left to ring. Debris explores the darker corners of domestic life, balancing the need to create with the responsibilities that come with a family, a partner and a career. Seismic ruptures behind closed doors. InchThere was a lot going on in my life that was heavy and hard,Inch she adds. InchSongs were made under that moment.Inch Born and raised in Oldham in the north-west of England, Forsyth first made her name as an actor. Her enigmatic voice is so indelible even she is sometimes provoked to refer to it as a third person, like the characters she's inhabited as an actor, this time populating songs sharing tales of the high and low tides, of freedom and entrapment, and of hard-won triumphs. InchThey've been in my mind for a while,Inch she concludes. InchI have sung them to my children, and at home alone, and making this album has been an opportunity for me to discover the voice and being who sings these songs. It has changed me, and will continue to. I recognise my life again.InchA1. DebrisA2. Black BullA3. It's Raining A4. Look To YourselfB1. LostB2. ButterflyB3. Large OakB4. Start Again

'Grace' is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between Robert Plant, Van Morrison, and his father Tim. And that's a fair starting point for his music 'Grace' sounds like a Led Zeppelin album written by an ambitious folkie with a fondness for lounge jazz.
Keeley Forsyth's 2020 debut LP Debris was described by Pitchfork as Incharid and beautifulInch, by Uncut as InchastonishingInch and in The Sunday Times, as Inchone of the most remarkable [albums] in yearsInch. Her 2022 follow-up, Limbs, drew unanimous praise and prompted comparisons with Nico, Beth Gibbons, Aldous Harding, Nick Cave, Anohni, and even Scott Walker. May 2024 saw the arrival of Keeley's third studio album The Hollow, and her first for the 130701 Imprint on FatCat Records. Keeley's latest venture, Hand to Mouth, pushes the envelope further, through a deliberate exploitation of space and restraint as the key focus that underpins her latest collection of songs. Along with long time collaborator Matthew Bourne, she has envisaged a program of songs like this for some time. Drawing on their experience of performing paired-back voice and harmonium shows in previous years, Hand to Mouth further echoes and refines this sensibility - exploiting minimal, mesmeric textures, and elliptical musical structures. It is often stated that no one else is making music quite like this.
Keeley Forsyth's 2020 debut album found an elemental voice ringing out from beneath the rubble. Understated but devastating, Debris' success led to a transformation as the songs were brought to the stage. An innate performer, Forsyth found herself channelling something she hadn't yet fully come to understand, and it was here that the voice found on Debris began to probe outwards and discover a physical form. It's a form that fully takes shape on her second album Limbs.Anyone who saw Forsyth perform in the brief window after Debris was released and before shows ground to a halt can testify to the show's power. In pin-drop silence, enraptured audiences watched as Forsyth inhabited a new body. No stranger to portraying characters in her career as an actor, this was something different. Limbs is a record of reckoning with that change. After the initial purge of Debris, those feelings of trauma and fear remain but there's also a life to live. InchSave me from the chair where sadness lies,Inch she sings on opener 'Fires', wrestling the need to be creative within the routine of daily life. Where Debris was composed and recorded in close proximity to instrumentalist and arranger Matthew Bourne, Limbs deploys a more expansive palette. With Forsyth at the centre, collaborator Ross Downes acts as another limb, remotely producing the pulses and drones which feed back into the voice. Bourne this time is enlisted to InchBring some of the soil of DebrisInch into Limbs. The result is clear and more spacious. If Debris sounded like it was buried under the earth - Forsyth's voice repressed and breathless - Limbs brings some of that live presence.1. Fires2. Bring Me Water3. Limbs 4. Land Animal 5.
