About this item

Manchester solo artist, Patrick Briscoe, releases his second full length album "Colours Will Fly". The mood of this ambitious second offering undulates throughout, with the simplistic beauty of the Drake-esque "Brighter Days" to the driving virtuoso instrumental of "Behind the Light", a must have for all lovers of the acoustic guitar. Within "Portrait of England" Briscoe opens up his scrap book, revealing a Larkin like reverie which revolves in the ghostly charms of a violin in an empty room. Elements of the classic pop song appear in "Just Drifting" and the devout guitar workout of "Scars and Mountains", with the album culminating with the hypnotic "Raising Stones". Briscoe sites his influences as John Coltrane, Mozart, Mark Hollis, Beethoven, Robert Johnson and Miles Davis.
