David Gray has announced details of his eleventh studio album ‘Gold In A Brass Age’ (Out March 8th), featuring the single The Sapling (listen below).

“With this album, my default position was to do everything differ-ently. I didn’t think ‘this would be a good hook or ‘these lyrics could work for a chorus’. I was keen to get away from narrative. In-stead of writing melodies, I looked for phrases with a natural cadence, so that the rhythm began with the words. I reimagined where a song might spring from and what form it could take.”

Gray has also announced details of a European tour including 3 Irish dates this April.
