Neil Stringfellow The track 'strange charm' is wonderful and up there with the very best tracks by Simon McCorry. Can't wait for the full album to be released, from what I've heard so far I think this will be amazing. Favorite track: Strange Charm.

James This album is superb. Bold As Love conjures images of a hot Indian countryside landscape. A layer of haze above the ground and a dusty red air. Awesome. Favorite track: Bold As Love.

Roland Pyle Truly inspired by this album. It speaks to me of the interconnections between peoples and places. It suggests questions about our short existence in the overall span of deep geological time, and asks us to contemplate how to be good ancestors. An outstanding piece of work. Favorite track: Bold As Love.

"My last two albums, Song Lines (Naviar 2018), Border Land (Close Recordings 2019) followed a thematic thread exploring how music holds the story of human migration and how the border between things gives the possibility to existence and creativity at both cosmic and personal levels.

In ‘And Where Are You Really From?’ I continue to explore these ideas, taking the question, I and many people are confronted with, and twisting, reordering, undermining and subverting it. Each track is a thought on this question. Are we from ‘the life giving waters that are taken for granted’? Are we made from the thermonuclear explosions deep within the centres of stars? Are ‘we such stuff as dreams are made of?’

Edward Said’s essential ‘Orientalism’ examining the interface between East & West looks at European fascination in terms of power, fetishising, dominating, subsuming and colonialism. The analysis is one dimensional, the meeting between peoples is as if it is part of some board game and not on the level of individuals. Individuals can also fall in love, become friends and swap stories; unaware of any structures of power that might define them. I am a direct product, a child of people who did not see ‘difference’ as ’other’, their stories are etched upon my being at a molecular level." - Simon McCorry
