The newly re-established Nude Records are thrilled to announce the release of theyesandeye, the new album from Lou Rhodes, which will be available 22nd July 2016.
This is the fourth solo album for Lou and with the release of the first track 'Sea Organ' her singer-songwriter roots seem well intact. “I had a bunch of songs”, says Rhodes, “but I wasn’t sure which way to go with them. I had a gut feeling I wanted to experiment with a slightly psychedelic feel and, by chance, met up with Simon Byrt (the album’s co-producer) in a friend’s studio. It turned out that he has a strange passion for vintage spring and tape echoes and, before long, we’d decided to make a record together.”
The album was recorded in that same friend’s studio in the Wiltshire countryside and, the album's title, ‘theyesandeye’? “I’ve had a lifetime of being consumed by a kind of self-doubt and so, recently, I’ve been concentrating on keeping a positive frame of mind. Affirmation, I guess you’d call it. One day I was looking online at some art pieces a friend had mentioned and one painting was entitled ‘theeyestheysee’. My eyes saw “theyesandeye” and it seemed to echo my new credo, a new default setting, and I decided it summed up the album pretty well.”
‘theyesandeye’ will be released 22nd July on Nude Records
