"The Forest and The SeaÆ"features a dynamic hybrid
of electronic and acoustic songs. Telling a true
story, the compositions are bound together by a
meticulous narrative enriched by haunting vocals
and traditional instrumentation.
Both story and field recordings were constructed
and gathered in various locations including
Greece, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
This journey reveals John's musical kaleidoscope
and his consolidated approach to song-writing,
field recordings and electronics. A significant
development from JohnÆs earlier works, he manages
to produce seamless transitions between
electronics and song-writing. The end result is
the creation of a new all encompassing genre.
The list of guests includes drummer Seb Rochford
and bassist Tom Herbert from Mercury Music Prize
nominees Polar Bear - of which John is a full-time
member. Additional vocals are provided by Leo
Chadburn aka Simon Bookish, and Alice Grant.
