Nocturne from Nocturne by Double Thumb
“With its dreamlike harp arpeggios and wispy, discordant synth lines “Nocturne” takes no prisoners right from the get-go. Although supposedly a demo, the production is fresher and more original than 95% of the mundane nonsense churned out by “professional” studios and labels these days. The orchestration is expert yet sparse, the percussion startling yet understated, the vocal performances beautifully poised… Suffice it to say this is possibly the most assured debut recording I’ve heard by a UK artist since “The Wizard” by Bat For Lashes”
(Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music)

Lyrics
"...and I think I found myself in your dark eyes
Cut through my fear and pour in some warm light
My heart's been sellotaped for a lifetime
Cut through my skin, I'll see through your eyesight"

“The music of opiate fuelled dreams. Intricate, yet elegantly simple, the work of Double Thumb is inventive and utterly spellbinding… A taste of ‘Nocturne’ and I was hooked, lost in addiction”
(KK, composer and producer: worked with Brian Eno, Bjork, Mediaeval Baebes, Sting, Kylie, Britney, and many others)
