20 May 2026, 12:38 | Written by Kayla Sandiford

Poppy Ackroyd has released "Continuum", the latest single from her upcoming album, Liminal.

"Continuum" follows previous singles "Shimmer", "For Those Who Wait", and "The Unknown", and is accompanied by a video by Tom Newell, which layers the same image to reflect the continuing cycle of nature.

Discussing the process behind the song and the video, Ackroyd shares, “Tom has been making visuals for my live shows and also several music videos for nearly 15 years and this is another creation that works beautifully. It gives plenty of space for the music to breathe and changes effortlessly with the structure of the piece.

"I really like the idea of trees to represent the idea of a continuous cycle, and the multiple layers help to reinforce the idea of repetition that is both similar and constantly changing. The layers of dense tree images that are the same but flipped and placed on top of each other creating transparencies and other happy accidents feels very much like the layers in the track where everything is running side by side but with little musical moments from both the piano and violin peeking out over the top of the texture."

Liminal is released on 5 June via One Little Independent Records
