⚡️Adam Stafford⚡️
29th June

🌩Gerry Loves Records are delighted to announce the release of Daylight Slavings by Adam Stafford with a launch show at Summerhall’s Old Lab on Saturday 29 June.

🌩This new long player is Stafford’s 12th solo album and will be available digitally and on limited edition 12” vinyl. To welcome the record, Stafford will lead a trio at Summerhall, with support from Bell Lungs.

🌩Musically we are in the imagined cinematic zone of midnight drives through threatening deserts and rain-swept plains, post-industrial throb of red haze in black skies, stuttering shadows in glistening ice palaces and an existential horror film about a middle aged suburban man who has convinced himself he has a brutal s***f film in his closet.

🌩But it’s not all terror and twilight foreboding, Stafford is at his most musically tender and poignant on ‘Catatonic Owls’ and the album closer ‘Daylight Slavings‘ which sees a burst of trombones and trumpets bringing illuminating shafts of light from the troubled heavens.

⚡️"He is crafting filigree melodies. These are underpinned by cavernous synths. Stafford then uses lighter tones to add shading and detail and to create something awe inspiring" - God is in The TV

Not perturbed by working with this enigma for a fourth time, Gerry Loves Records are delighted to announce the release of Daylight Slavings by Adam Stafford on Friday 28 June. This new long player is Stafford’s 12th solo album.

The title track is streaming today https://lnkfi.re/daylightslavingssingle

Adam says of the song: "This was one of many of the pieces I wrote while learning the electric piano during lockdown. The warped notes at the beginning were an accident that I used as a jumping off point to build the track. 'Daylight Slavings' is obviously a play on clocks going forward and back but I felt during lockdown people had a chance to reflect on the way their time is managed by the capitalist machine."

The record sees Stafford take influences from the likes of Glenn Gould, Dominic Lawralee, Thelonious Monk, the presence and absence of Dub pioneers Scientist and King Tubby, and Su Tissue’s Salon de Musique.

Musically we are in the imagined cinematic zone of midnight drives through threatening deserts and rain-swept plains, post-industrial throb of red haze in black skies, stuttering shadows in glistening ice palaces and an existential horror film about a middle aged suburban man who has convinced himself he has a brutal s***f film in his closet.

But it's not all terror and twilight foreboding, Stafford is at his most musically tender and poignant on 'Catatonic Owls' and the album closer 'Daylight Slavings' which sees a burst of trombones and trumpets bringing illuminating shafts of light from the troubled heavens.

To welcome the record, Stafford will lead a trio at launch shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh, with support from bell lungs.
