Garvey, Guy - Courting The Squall

NEW VINYL LP ON POLYDOR 2015

180 GRAM VINYL

Recorded initially at Real World Studios near Bath and completed at Blueprint Studios in Salford, ‘Courting the Squall’ features a band created by Guy from his ‘favourite musicians outside elbow’. Some tracks, notably ‘Angela’s Eyes’, ‘Harder Edges’ and ‘Belly of the Whale’, come completely from groove, finding a sweet spot between Manchester’s baggy past, long term love Tom Waits and Bowie’s mid-70’s albums, particularly ‘Sound and Vision’. The album title track, a trip hop rhythm propelled ballad and ‘Juggernaut’, a hymnal clothed in sedate populist clothing, may feel more immediately recognizable to long term followers of Guy’s music whilst ‘Broken Bottles and Chandeliers’, with its warmth , once again showcases his unerring ability to translate the sense of overwhelming joy into understated musical form.
