Fresh off the back of a world tour in support of critically praised latest album ‘Gold In A Brass Age’, David Gray today releases an EP of acoustic reinterpretations of some of its highlights, ‘Gold In A Brass Age – Ground Control Acoustic Sessions’. Recorded at Gray’s home studios with producer Ben de Vries, the EP was created using nothing more than an acoustic guitar and an upright piano, stripping the tracks back to their bare essentials, bringing the imagery of the lyrics to the forefront. Stream the ‘Gold In A Brass Age – Ground Control Acoustic Sessions’ EP here.
Speaking about the new EP, Gray says; “Many of the songs had never really been performed in that way. So, it’s heartening to know, that even on a record where production and sound plays such a major part in the structuring of the music, the songs can still stand up by themselves.”
David Gray recently released, Gold In A Brass Age via IHT Records / AWAL Recordings. In addition to the new album, David Gray embarked on a world tour, Gold In A Brass Age Tour, which began in March with 17 sold out UK and Irish shows. In April the tour visited Australia, culminating in a performance at legendary Bluesfest in Byron Bay – followed by extensive legs across Europe and North America.
Gold In A Brass Age – Ground Control Acoustic Sessions EP follows the release ofGold In A Brass Age, David Gray’s eleventh album in a career that spans over 25 years, several Brit and Grammy nominations, and three No.1 UK albums, including the breakout multi-platinum White Ladder. It is also a vital new collection of songs from an artist still reveling in his passion for song-craft, pushing himself into unfamiliar terrain, surprising himself as much as his fans along the way.
