Adam Scott Glasspool first started going it alone in April 2015. After almost a decade in various bands, honing the craft of songwriting, Adam decided to step back from fuzzed up guitars and burbling synths and stripped it all down to just his guitar. The result was his debut EP ‘On Dreams’, a haunting and atmospheric collection of songs released to critical acclaim.
The rest of the year saw Adam travelling up and down the country, performing the songs to people, where they seemed to take on a new life by way of a loop pedal. Inspired by this more structured yet complex approach Adam began recording again, creating a new EP, ‘I Welcome the Flood’.
Talking about the EP Adam says “I had intended for the first EP to be a really simple endeavour when compared to my previous life in bands – one man and a guitar with simple but effective songs. When I came to play them live I realised I‟d put loads of guitars on top of each other and all these effects and stuff. So I had to strip them down even further and get a loop pedal and all sorts of nonsense. With these EP I‟ve tried to keep that in mind, and so these songs are kind of stripped to their basics. I‟m sure when I come to play them live this statement will come back to bite me in the arse.”
I Welcome the Flood‟ was recorded in Adam‟s Brighton flat over the course of six months. Finishing „I Welcome the Flood‟ will be released on February 15th 2015 on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and basically anywhere else you can think of. The CD release will be available exclusively through Adam‟s BandCamp.
Adam is playing at festivals this year including Glastonbury, and will also be touring around the release of this EP, beginning with a very special EP Launch Party in his hometown of Brighton on February 13th.
