Retaining some of the textural play and experimentation of Ian’s solo material whilst channelling it squarely within the domain of tangible songwriting, the pair utilise guitar, modified tape decks, bass and synths to fashion deeply-felt songs with their beautifully matched male / female vocals standing resolutely centre-stage. Taking influence and inspiration from the likes of Low, Grouper, Mazzy Star, Portishead, My Bloody Valentine, Talk Talk and Cat Power, ‘The Heavy Steps Of Dreaming’ sounds at once familiar whilst forging something new, unique and beyond the sum of its influences. Over the course of its 8 tracks – from the opening bars of ‘Rothko’ to the resonant closing lines of ‘Shipbreaking’ – the duo move fluidly between voices, shift from moments of overwhelming power to perfect points of stillness; from acoustic balladry pared down to the sparsest of means to thick, tumbling swells of tape and electronics or billowing synth trails. At both album and song level, it’s a work of contrasts and combinations; of broad, bold dynamics. Masterfully crafted, the lyrics are rendered with an almost painterly approach and reveal a palpable joy in the richness of language and its capacity to conjure resonances, to hold moments close and to patch together meaning from life’s scattered detritus. What’s forged is a kind of Alt. Americana filtered through a progressive modern lens and the tactile, heavily processed tactics of Ian’s solo practice – an approach that links to the corrosive aesthetics of electronic artists like Fennesz, William Basinski or The Caretaker. Available to independent retailers on clear vinyl. “Puts ambient music, dream pop, and operatic vocals in a blender, and comes out with something that’s very unique” – Brooklyn Vegan “An atmosphere that flits between the overtly beautiful and the frankly eerie” – Clash Magazine Artist Minor Pieces Genre Rock And Pop Label Fat Cat Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Rothko This House Brávallagata Grace Burden The Way We Are In Song Tender Fire Shipbreaking Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Lou Reed American Poet – Deluxe Edition Rock And Pop | Easy Action | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 9th December 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lou Reed American Poet – Deluxe Edition £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Easy Action SKU: EARS0119LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 9th December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Neil Young Dorothy Chandler Pavilion 1971 Rock And Pop | Warner Records | 1LP Released 6th May 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Neil Young Dorothy Chandler Pavilion 1971 £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Records SKU: 0093624885139 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Prince Welcome 2 America Rock And Pop | Sony | 2LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 30th July 2021 £31.00 - £111.00 Select options Prince Welcome 2 America £31.00 - £111.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Formats: 2LP, Box Set, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th July 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Tenacious D The Pick Of Destiny Rock And Pop | We Are Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 18th August 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tenacious D The Pick Of Destiny £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 88985438501 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lovely Eggs, The Fried Egg – 10” EP Rock And Pop | Egg Records | 10", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 8th April 2022 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lovely Eggs, The Fried Egg – 10” EP £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Egg Records SKU: EGG017 Formats: 10", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Top Of The Pops 1975 – 1979 Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd June 2017 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Top Of The Pops 1975 – 1979 £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5377039 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Howling Hex, The The Best Of The Howling Hex Rock And Pop | Drag City | 1LP Released 18th February 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Howling Hex, The The Best Of The Howling Hex £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Drag City SKU: DC545 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crosby, Stills and Nash CSN (Atlantic 75 Series) Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 25th December 2025 £75.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Crosby, Stills and Nash CSN (Atlantic 75 Series) £75.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: AAPA 021-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 25th December 2025 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blacklisters Adults Rock And Pop | Smalltown America | 1LP Released 16th September 2015 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blacklisters Adults £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Smalltown America SKU: STA162LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dimension Organ Rock And Pop | Dimension | 2LP Released 5th March 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dimension Organ £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dimension SKU: 0190296805707 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
