‘Spacebound Apes’ is the sixth studio recording from Neil Cowley Trio; a concept album that combines a glorious soundtrack of breathtaking music around a magical, thought-provoking tale of one man – Lincoln – and the bizarre journey he goes on, woven together with some of the most impassioned music that Neil has created.

Pianist/composer Cowley toured and record with some of the most successful bands of the ‘90s including the Brand New Heavies and Zero 7 alongside his own chill-out band Fragile State. Since then, Cowley has become the go-to pianist lending his golden touch to many chart smashing hits including contributions to Adele’s global chart toppers, ‘19’ and ‘21’ making him quite literally 2011’s most listened to pianist on the planet!

On ‘Spacebound Apes’ hypnotic passages create heart-pounding suspense while sweet, whispered themes create heart-shattering empathy. Bold, bombastic tunes create drama, and in a departure from the trio’s usual acoustic setting, electronics orchestrate desolation and despair.

Widely acclaimed as a dazzling composer, Cowley demonstrates his flair for bold, dynamic, emotional music with cinematic themes that has an enormously broad appeal. The trio have, over their ten year history built a reputation as being one of the genres most captivating live bands performing in a variety of genre-crossing settings.
