Eight years since the release of Five of Cups I’ve finally returned to Patchwork Cacophony to record the third album, Hourglass. While those who know Patchwork Cacophony will, I’m sure, recognise the sonic DNA of its predecessors, I think Hourglass also carries some recognisable elements from the intervening years’ work with Gandalf’s Fist and Broken Parachute and also the fruit of several years of sonic exploration of my own. In short, I think you can hear the effect of the years that have passed, or indeed the sand that’s passed through the hourglass.
Anyway, on with the important details. Pre-orders on the CD are open and the digital downloads will again be handled by Bandcamp. The official release date is set as May 1st but pre-orders will probably ship a little ahead of that.
