Singer and ukulele player, Hannah Botting, said: “It’s now been eight years since I moved away from my home town, and it’s getting to that point where you’re not really sure where your home is any more. That feeling of being a bit lost and a bit unsure but excited at the same time, is something that sits underneath all the songs.”

The Sovereign Self - named after a line from Dennis Potter, is the fifth album from Glasgow's Trembling Bells and their first since 2012’s The Marble Downs, which was a collaboration with Will Oldham.

The album contains a host of ideas and represents cultural and counter-cultural interest from the band which is also reflected on the front cover of the album. The Sovereign Self - a series of twenty portraits painted by Lavinia Blackwall: an eclectic gallery of genius from Emily Dickinson to Aeschylus; Lou Reed to Ovid.

Another key influence, psych-folk pioneers the Incredible String Band, has loomed large in the lives of Trembling Bells in recent years. They have toured with ISB co-founder Mike Heron, performing tracks from his songbook.

Having released five LPs in six years, in addition to a number of side-projects, Trembling Bells show no signs of slowing down. Already, work is being done on solo records from three members, and there are plans for an album of reworked traditional folk songs with vocals from comedian Stewart Lee.

Sovereign Self will be released on 29th June on Tin Angel Records and You can hear the entire album now on The Wire HERE
