Singer Songwriters

Evocative and intense, 'My Hotel Year' is the debut solo album from Tim Bowness, marking Tim's return to the One Little Indian label after a decade's absence.

Primarily written and produced with No-Man collaborators David Picking and Stephen Bennett, the album was recorded in England and Germany over a six-month period. Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine), Roger Eno, Michael Bearpark, Peter Chilvers and Centrozoon's Markus Reuter, also make superb contributions.

'One of the year's most original, personal and haunting records' (Martin Aston - The Times/MOJO)

Thin Air is Peter Hammill’s twenty-eighth solo album of original songs and follows an eventful few years (a heart attack in December 2003 and a hugely successful Van der Graaf Generator reunion in 2004).

Singularity, his last solo work, was released in 2006 and was acclaimed as Peter's most innovative and important release since his late 70s/early 80s masterpieces, The Future Now and A Black Box.

A fascinating and mature addition to Peter’s brilliant body of work.

Critically lauded Maltese/English singer-songwriter Martin Grech returns with 'The Heritage', the first single taken from his forthcoming album, ‘March Of The Lonely’ (which will be released in June).

Martin first entered the public consciousness when his debut single, the haunting falsetto track ‘Open Heart Zoo’, was used by Lexus cars in a TV advertising campaign in 2002. The track, written by Martin when he was only 19 years old, proved a sizable hit when released on Interscope through Island Records, and a debut album of the same name followed. Produced by Andy Ross, the album brought favourable comparisons with the intensity and vision of Radiohead, Talk Talk and Nine Inch Nails, and the dynamics and depth of Porcupine Tree and Jeff Buckley.

In 2005, Martin Grech released his second album ‘Unholy’, which despite taking a darker and more experimental turn, met with even greater critical acclaim, being hailed in some quarters as one of the albums of the year.

Steeped in acoustic influences such as Crosby, Stills & Nash, Johnny Cash and Simon & Garfunkel, 'The Heritage' is the first taste from what will surely come to be regarded as Martin’s most important work to date, 'The March Of The Lonely'.

Featuring hauntingly melancholy songs adorned with constantly shifting atmospheric arrangements, Alias Grace's second album 'Storm Blue Evening' develops further the intimate and beguiling nature of their charmed debut album and captures perfectly the maturing writing style of Irish singer-songwriter Sandra O'Neill and multi-instrumentalist Peter Chilvers. The album also features cameo appearances from Rob Jackson, Myke Clifford, Mike Bearpark and Tim Bowness.

Goodwin's burnished blend of downbeat domestic poetry and cracked, acoustic beauty, calls to mind the West Coast 'sadcore' of Red House Painters, American Music Club and Idaho, while never losing sight of its uniquely personal and British origins. Recorded in a day with minimum fuss and few overdubs, the album also features cameo appearances from Peter Chilvers and Sandra O'Neill (Alias Grace). Paul Goodwin's impressive Burning Shed debut offers late night sounds par excellence.
