The track was recorded during the sessions for his Welsh Music Prize-winning debut solo album, '2013'. About the six minute orchestral piece, he said:
"I wanted to become this man, who keeps looking at the sea in the half-light hoping to see the love he has lost return. He looks for too long, in the night, and loses his sight forever... He goes over and over the past hoping to see something different in it, and in doing so moves further away from everything.
I imagined the orchestra as the sea, still then turbulent with the birds high above as the woodwinds, violins, recorders and whistles, swooping down, the man in the center.”
The Welsh art-pop artist, formerly of Race Horses, will play the first date of his headline UK tour tonight in Cardiff. He will also appear at SXSW in Austin later this month and Bluedot Festival this summer.
