After being an integral part of the Manchester and Glasgow underground scenes, Leo Robinson announces his debut solo album under his own name: The Temple will be released 27th October on Prah Recordings. A baroque epic set in the mundane settings of contemporary Northern England, its narrative reflects a spiritual or psychoanalytic journey. Ten songs dealing in intricate string-tinged folk, and produced with a sense of up-close intimacy and structural freedom that frequently blindsides the listener in the best possible way. The record’s overarching narrative of the evolution of consciousness is ruminated over via a deftly built tension within melodies that are never quite allowed to reach unfettered euphoria; Robinson is a master of allowing a composition to ebb and flow.
