To whet appetites he’s making ‘Emile’ available as a free download. A “lavish ballad with traces of Midnight Cowboy-era John Barry and early-‘80s New York minimalism”, it features Cathy Davey, Liss Hannigan’s right-hand man Gavin Blass and Cora Venus Lunny who creates the song’s orchestral sweep with over 100 layers of strings.
From the same sessions but not actually on the LP, it’s a cracker!
