Following the spellbinding and ecstatic ‘Contains Multitudes’, electronic maverick James Holden has shared a second single called ‘Common Land’. The track is lifted from Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities, his first record in nearly six years which arrives on March 31st through his own Border Community. Of ‘Common Land’, Holden comments:

“The title comes from the British Library bird recordings I wrote the track around, but obviously references the idea that all land is everyones and we are all born with the right to roam or rave on it. I think who and what is allowed on the land tells you a lot about how this place is run, and for who.

Personally I think anything a rich person claims as ‘theirs’ is stolen off the rest of us and there’s nowhere that’s more obvious than the English countryside. Imagine! – the state protects the right of these cretins to fence off thousands of acres for their barbaric hobbies while ancient traditions like communities coming together to get high and dance in the woods are criminalised!

Everything is upside down and we need to fix it.”

‘Common Land’ features Christopher Duffin on sax and it comes with an accompanying video made by Innerstrings. Watch it below.
