Turn is here at last!
Turn is a BAND album!
It's taken a little bit longer than expected but finally the Heaven Sent's new album will be out around the end of May - but you can pre-order it NOW! This one's a band album, arranged by the band over the last couple of years. It ranges from the pure pop of She Wants Out and Nothing Through the Rain through the gypsy/opera of A Careless Blow and the dark near-prog The Right Thing to the exuberant rock of Turn and Living Water.
My previous albums have all been on a songwriter basis - starting from an acoustic song and overdubbing a few instruments to enhance it. In Turn the band - James, Fi and Suzy - have been integral to the arrangements. I'd come with a song and say 'what do we do with this?' and take it from there. In the studio we recorded the basic - guitars bass and drums - live, and it has has that live energy!
Why pre-order? Well, you'll be the first to get the album dropping through your letterbox and you'll get lots of extras - see below!
