Gwilym Gold has detailed his debut album A Paradise, and sharing its lead tracks "Breathless", "Unknown" and "I Know, I Know".

The album, written solo originally, was co-produced with Lexxx (Wild Beasts, Fatima Al Qadiri) . The two then spent the best part of a year together in a small room in Konk Studios, London, toiling on this extended labour of love. There are also co-production contributions from James Young of Darkstar, True Panther artist Hyetal and Bullion, whilst four songs feature composer Nico Muhly’s verdant, dizzying string arrangements.

Gold, the former frontman of the Golden Silvers and co-creator of innovative sonic platform Bronze, is also set to perform a one-off show at the Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall on 30 May. Gold will be speaking alongside fellow Bronze creators Lexxx and Goldsmiths professor Dr Mick Grierson, in a "discussion about the format". Tickets are available now.

A Paradise is out on 22 June via Brille Records.
