About this item

Thos Henley is currently amidst a solo music adventure across Europe. Having exhausted the London scene, where he was heavily involved during his teens, he has spent the last two years exploring the continent, in particular France and Paris, where he has aligned with the Boutique Sonores label.

“I left my village in England around two years ago, the reasons were plentiful; I had fallen out of love with a woman and the country which I stood on. Inspired by travel writers such as Laurie Lee and Patrick Leigh Fermor, I left for France in a red van and after swimming in St. Tropez with my passport in my pocket I decided to stay in Paris.”

Regularly featured on blogs such as La Blogothèque and Le Transistor in France and sharing the stage with artists such as the French band Syd Matters and LA-based folk - 2 - band Dylan Trees, Thos has been able to develop a fan-base wherever he resides and continues to win over fans on his travels.

This release brings together tracks recorded in England shortly before his departure, as well as newer tracks recorded with new acquaintances abroad. The music carries influences from antique British and contemporary American folk, with lush vocal harmonies and organ. The UK physical release comes in a beautiful extendeddigipack including photos and lyrics.
