Journeying from a regenerated Clay Factory in the heart of Devon via a
prehistoric settlement on Dartmoor and a Victorian mining village, by
means of timeless melodies and tunes, the debut solo album from Cole
Stacey has arrived
A songwriter, singer and musician who has spent the last ten years roaming the
diverse echelons of traditional folk to 80s pop, spoken word to new romantic
electronics, performing concerts and collecting sounds around the world as half
of alt- folk sensation India Electric Co., as well as playing bass, synths and
mandolin on tour with legendary musician Midge Ure. From being on stage at The
Royal Albert Hall to Westfalenhalle Arena in Germany, from 700-year-old castles
in Gdansk to Glastonbury Festival, this album fnally brings Cole Stacey home.
Postcards From Lost Places is a visceral and honest debut, offering regeneration
as its theme while being rooted in tradition. At its heart is a symbiosis of 'lost'
places and forgotten words, stretching as far back as the 13th century, paired
with Cole's distinctive lyrical songwriting mixed with singular feld recordings.
Collaborations include traditional Lithuanian Kankles virtuoso Emilija Karaliute,
BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Nominee Jack Cookson and electronic producer and
composer Guy Andrews. Each track, or postcard, is imaginatively and lovingly
recorded in spaces that to the outside world are easily overlooked, yet continue to
endure. The sounds created offer asnapshot of a creative soul and a glimpse into
a wealth of audio stories waiting to be told. This album offers the chance to read
a diary entry, refecting a goal of not attempting to attain perfection, but simply to
share stories of places and people with an alternative view of the world, of who
they are and how they see it.
Tracks: Quiet Is Louder / Hard Times Come Again No More / All We Are / If It
Helps / For Old Time's Sake / Last Supper / Sugarcanes / Castles By The Sea /
The Gatehouse / Feast Or Fire / Song Of The Moor / Lost Prayer
