Joe Wilson and Tom Kingston are an unusual duo who collaborate successfully in several worlds. Together they make up Solomon Grey who create a dramatic blend of sweeping compositions for television whilst simultaneously beavering away at their true passion for electronic explorations.

Their latest release Human Music is an attempt to blend each of these sonic worlds together Joe Wilson and Tom Kingston are an unusual duo who collaborate successfully in several worlds together.

“The crossover between our own songs and our soundtracks has always been there but it’s shifted slightly,” says Tom. “An influence on this album was definitely working to deadlines. Making soundtracks, you have to produce a lot of material really quickly. You have to become less precious. Rather than torturing yourself trying to produce the perfect piece of work, we embraced the moment. Human Music relates the events of a specific period of time.”

‘Human Music’ features a 22-piece, Hungarian orchestra and lashings of synth goodness and emotive vocals. The video for Gaslight is a perfect summation of what Solomon Grey are all about, practised spontaneity and capturing the moment.You’ll be able to experience this first hand when Solomon Grey play The Grand Social on November 1st.

Solomon Grey’s Tape Machine Tour comes to The Grand Social, 1st November 2018. Tickets €17.00.
