Cherry Red Records Closer to Earth

This album of beautifully crafted
acoustic covers is the first by the duo, who met quite by chance. “The creative potential when you find this
kind of chemistry is truly open ended” enthuses Murray (vocals, rhythm
guitar, percussion & production), “there
are so many combinations of instruments and voicings we can call on, both in
the studio and on stage – there are no limits.”




Murray’s three octave voice is
absolutely breathtaking and appears utterly effortless. Although a talented
songwriter, interpreting other writers’ songs is very much in Murray’s DNA and
his dynamic, soulful vocal approach on this album unites an unlikely array of
classic tunes from many different genres in a deeply evocative way. In
combination with Dave’s beautiful guitar work the sound is both spellbinding
and unique.




A gifted and complete musician in
every genre of music, Dave can also turn his hand to keyboards, bass and drums,
and is an extremely talented songwriter to boot. All of these skills he infuses
with his own unique blend of elegance, grace, and raw passion. The album has
been recorded around Dave’s commitments to Roger
Waters’ The Wall tour.




Individually, these two musicians have
a terrifying amount of talent and a mesmerising stage presence. But the magic
is in the mix…
