Not only will David Gray embark on a massive world tour this spring (including a show at The Anthem on May 30 / see full tour dates below), the English singer-songwriter is set to release an acoustic EP, Gold In A Brass Age – Ground Control Acoustic Sessions this summer. Hear the first track off the album, “Mallory” below.
Gold In A Brass Age – Ground Control Acoustic Sessions was recorded at David’s home studio with producer Ben de Vries, using nothing more than his acoustic guitar and upright piano. The tracks have a freshness and vitality for being recorded in such a direct and uncomplicated way. The songs are stripped back to their bare essentials, bringing the imagery of the lyrics to the forefront.
Gray says:
“Many of the songs had never really been performed in that way. So, it’s heartening to know, that even on a record where production and sound plays such a major part in the structuring of the music, the songs can still stand up by themselves.”
