In early 2020 - with a new album almost done and an offer to produce for a mainstream artist on the table - personal upheaval and a pandemic brought everything to a sudden standstill. Months of withdrawal eventually triggered a different approach. Recording hours of raw material; slow horns, sibilance, delayed drums, wondering flutes - whatever, whenever. With vocals recorded by Alison Skidmore, the album was finally completed late last year- taking on a different shape. It's songs desolate, melancholy, defiant, beautiful - often all at once. The sounds echoed music around Stott during those months: Prince, Gavin Bryars, A.R. Kane, Bohren & der Club of Gore, Robert Turman, Cindy Lee, Leila, Catherine Christer Hennix, Junior Boys, László Hortobágyi, NÃdia, Prefab Sprout - the unusual / the familiar.
