LP – Limited Dinked Edition #262 Rose pink vinyl * Big Softies bonus 7 * Gatefold sleeve Printed inner sleeve with handwritten lyrics Signed & numbered edition * Limited pressing of 600 * * = EXCLUSIVE to Dinked Edition Beautifully produced and rich in scope Iechyd Dais Bill Ryder-Jones most ambitious record to date. At times joyous and grand, at others intimate and heartbreaking,the past few years spent producing other artists have provided that gentle nudge to expand into new territory, from kids choirs and tender strings to dramatically re-contextualised disco samples. Making this album has been a process that has been endlessly rewarding for Ryder-Jones, both creatively and personally, as he finally accepts that hes made an album that has bettered one hes been trying to top for a decade. It’s been incredible making this, he says. Despite all the life stuff that’s happened, it has brought me immense happiness. I’ve always railed against it when people ask if making a record is cathartic but Id have to admit that this one really was. Over the years my music has lost a bit of its hope I reckon. It were important for me to make a record that had more hope in it. Even by my standards the last few years have been rocky, but Ive chosen to soundtrack it with more positive music, you know? I love this album. I haven’t been this proud of a record since A Bad Wind Blows in My Heart.
