We fell for Poppy Ackroyd when she first released her utterly wonderful debut album Escapement in 2012 and we have never let go of our love for her music. The incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist and composer is now set to release a new mini-album, entitled Sketches. Poppy picked a few of her favourite tracks from previous records and reworked them into acoustic solo piano arrangements. Slated for a July 14th release through One Little Indian, the record also features four unreleased tracks.

‘Feathers’, the title track from her outstanding 2014 album which was one of our 15 Picks of the Year, is one of the tracks she reworked and it’s immensely beautiful. Take a listen now.

Poppy Ackroyd‘s beguiling new album, Feathers, grabbed me on first listen and continues to draw me in every single time. This is why we recently picked Feathers as one of our 15 Favourite Albums of the Year.
‘Roads’ was the first sublime single to be unveiled from the album back in October. Now Poppy is sharing another tremendous track off the album, ‘Salt’. Listen to it below and grab the album from Denovali.

We’re excitingly close to the release of Poppy Ackroyd‘s new album. Entitled Feathers, the effort follows her magnificent 2012 debut Escapement and it drops on November 14th via Denovali. In support of the new album, Poppy has announced a string of live dates in the UK and Europe kicking off on November 19th in Opwijk, Belgium and closing gloriously on December 20th at Cafe Oto in London as part of a tremendous bill also featuring Carlos Cipa and Piano Interrupted. Head over here to check all the dates and more info.
Ahead of the album release, the imaginative and talented composer and musician is enticing us with a sublime track off it, ‘Roads’. Enjoy.

The tremendously talented multi-instrumentalist and composer Poppy Ackroyd has unveiled a befitting visual accompaniment for the gorgeous and delicate ‘Lyre’. The song is taken from her debut solo album, Escapement, released last winter via Denovali Records. The video was made by Lumen, watch it beneath.

This Wednesday Poppy Ackroyd will start a European tour and her first performance will be in London with label mates Petrels and John Lemke. The shows will be complimented with visuals also made by Lumen.
