Angus

After a four year gap, Welsh artist Angus Powell, follows up his debut album Before The Grey (2017), with the first single Holding Up The Heavy, out October 22nd, from his forthcoming EP, H U T H... His debut album included the feature track “Monsters” and the album provided more than 15 sync uses in TV and Film around the world (Criminal Minds/Elementary/Bones/Finding Carter etc.) bringing his music to the attention of a worldwide audience. The new single, Holding Up The Heavy was recorded in Berlin, produced and co-written with well known German writer/producers Christian Neander (Selig/Christina Stürmer etc) and Jem (Udo Lindenburg/Andreas Bourani) Says Angus: .”After the release of ‘Before The Grey’ I took a bit of time, as I had spent years writing it and then a good year recording. It was a strange feeling. Blogs loved the album and the music supervisors all welcomed it. MTV commissioned the whole album to use across their in-house shows. I then really focused on creating a Live sound, working out how to bring the songs to life on stage with just my guitar, I had to get it perfect. It took some intense rehearsals in both Wales and London and numerous guitar pedals - but I got there. I played some UK shows and picked up a residency in London. I had been writing throughout this period, aiming for the second record. I think I was writing ‘Before The Grey’ again. Having written all my material myself to date I'd never even considered co-writing as an option, but then it became a breath of fresh air.. Over the next few months I travelled to Berlin and Copenhagen. Met some amazing people who have become good friends. The new material has evolved. It's the same bones but with fresh clothing. The signature sound stays the same but the productions are bigger and at times have a more commercial edge. The first release has been produced by Jem and Christian Neander, Two amazing guys...”
