Tom Furse of The Horrors has released new song "A Journey In Ecstasy", which lands as the lead single from his second solo album Ecstatic Meditations.

Furse originally announced details of his Ecstatic Meditations album in September, and has today (4 November) shared the opening song "A Journey In Ecstasy".

The new song (available as a three-minute edit and the full 19-minute version) was recorded, mixed and mastered by Furse from his own studio in Margate.

Ecstatic Meditations will follow on from Furse's 2016 debut solo LP Interludes, and will be released as part of Lo Recordings' Spaciousness series, which "seeks to explore the connections, the overlaps, the roots and the future of a music variously referred to as ambient, deep listening, new age and even post classical."

Speaking about the album, Furse says, "There was a certain kind of sound I was listening to that wasn’t always ambient but definitely had that quality about it and I just came to think of it as 'still music' - music without much form, but deeply spiritual, abstract and expressionist. This album is an exploration of that idea."

"A Journey In Ecstasy" will be officially released on 6 November. Tom Furse's Ecstatic Meditations album will arrive via Lo Recordings on 24 January 2021, and is available to pre-order now.
