Luke Abbott‘s Holkham Drones has only been out about 18 months, but it is already one of my most-played records of all time. It is the most comforting album I own, still startlingly beautiful after all these listens.
Now Abbott has taken a (temporary?) break from his Border Community home to record a new EP for Gold Panda’s new Notown label. ‘Modern Driveway’, the first track to be taken from that release, draws from the same emotional well as Holkham. In its bulbous, gloriously analogue melody, rough around the edges and unassuming, Abbott has again captured the sound of pure melancholy – of early morning, no-sleep heartache set against a rolling, distinctly English panorama.
The Modern Driveway EP is out on Notown on 28 May. Stream the title track below.
