Last month Neil Cowley enticed us with the sublime and striking single called ‘Ticker Tape’, taken from his new full-length album Battery Life. Ahead of its release on March 24th, Cowley is teasing the album again with a gorgeous and poignant new single called ‘Arkansas’. In a statement, he shared some thoughts:
“Much of source material for my new album was centred around my mothers diaries, my reluctance to read them and their potential for changing my recollection of key moments in my early life. I then pondered on the fragility of an archive and our current obsession in recording absolutely everything. I try to enjoy every moment as it happens wherever possible rather than worrying about perpetuity. Archiving everything is a sure way of missing the magic of the moment. This piece is centred around the fragile nature of memory.”
