Epic45 new album news – Weathering.
Weathering boasts an impressive set of guest singers and musicians. Stephen Jones of Babybird lends his trademark falsetto to the beautiful “With Our Backs to the City”, a track co-written with Jones after he contacted the band, impressed by a cover of his song “Losing my Hair” that Epic45 had been performing live. The track is unquestionably one of the album’s highlights. Rose Berlin , the daughter of Curve’s Dean Garcia , adds her delicate vocals to “Summer Message”, a duet she wrote and performs with Ben. Regular contributor Antony Harding of July Skies , meanwhile, sings and plays clarinet on the Durutti Column-esque “Ghosts I Have Known”. Instrumental contributions come from a wide cast including Richard Adams of The Declining Winter and Hood , who adds guitar and hammered dulcimer, electronic duo The Remote Viewer , EL Heath and Brave Timbers/Declining Winter violinist Sarah Kemp .
Weathering will be available on Make Mine Music as a CD housed in digipak artwork with 8 page photographic booklet. Norman Records will be taking pre-orders.
