Arcade [LP]

Danny George Wilson - Arcade [LP]

Third solo album from Danny & The Champions of the frontman, Danny George Wilson. ARCADE finds Danny George Wilson returning to Hamish Benjamin's studio in East Sussex - five years on from his startling, post-lockdown album Another Place - to construct its sequel. With Lewes-based Benjamin and right-hand-man Henry Garratt again given free rein, Arcade presents a fresh collection of sonically inventive, deeply romantic songs with atmosphere taking primacy over meaning, and narrative dissolving. As Danny tells it: "The songs are about the ways we deal with losing people, time, place, or don't deal with it... some looking back, discovering what was always there, or things that are just easier to ignore... different and contradictory perspectives. And I wanted a chance to work with Hamish and Henry again, and this seemed like their thing, and it was."
