Posted by Jack Cheshire has always sought to view life from different vantage points.
Recently, though, those vantage points have begun to splinter, with the way he approaches music becoming ever more complex.
Interweaving these elements together in one place has become difficult, but he’s taken this in his stride.
New album ‘Fractal Future Plays’ is in some places lush, at others stark, with its cosmic, celestial feel backed by intricate lyricism.
Jack Cheshire cites Kurt Vonnegut as an influence, in particular his novel Slaughterhouse 5, which utilises cut scenes, spatial shifts, and psychological trickery.
‘Tiny Hands’ is part of this exploration, and it’s one of the album’s more overtly beautiful moments, a gorgeous slice of interstellar acoustic musicality.
There’s a romantic yearning at work in ‘Tiny Hands’, with Jack’s voice permeates by the Danny Keane cello arrangement, and Andrea Di Biase on double bass.
Jack says: “It’s a song about falling in love whilst you’re watching the world burn. About reconciling your tiny life with the seismic events occurring and weight of history around you. Understanding you’re a minute part of something vast and strange, and seeing the wonder in that.”
Tune in now.
