Piano 45 by Spottiswoode
Spottiswoode's most intimate record. His first solo collection in over a decade, Piano 45 is as raw and stripped down as it gets.
Most of the songs feature simply piano and voice. Only a few have any extra embellishment – and then mostly just some extra backing vocals.
Documenting the period around a romantic break-up, the songs on Piano 45 combine Spott’s storytelling skills and trademark wit with a greater vulnerability. These are palpably spiritual songs about love, family and loss.
“Yes, I I I have turned into a cliché. This is my mid-life solo acoustic heart-on-my-sleeve romantic break-up record.”
