New video: Tom Speight releases video for new single ‘Want You’
On the track, Tom quotes:- “I started recording my album in March and managed to record about half of it.. however, in April I was taken ill with my Crohn?s disease and ended up being in hospital for 2 months until I was in remission..10 days later I started recording and putting the finishing touches to ?Want You? I wanted to finish this first because it felt like the most positive song on the album and after a tough spell I wanted to put a positive edge on things! I recorded it with Chris Bond (Ben Howard) my long-term collaborator in Devon. It carries on what we?ve built so far, a mixture between folk indie pop! Influenced by The Shins & War on Drugs. It?s the next stage in my progression as an artist.”

“When subjects are confined to a lockdown of monotony, their routine turns toxic. When sound is recorded and played back in the same environment some information will always be lost. Meanwhile the ambient noise and resounding frequencies of the surroundings become stronger. When this is repeated again and again the original meaning of the recording will be lost as the surrounding resonance – which could hardly be noticed at first – consumes it. Similarly the human actions performed in a monotonous routine eventually lose their original meaning. The loop becomes self destructive. The subjects begin to find meaning in the noise seeping through the cracks. This is where we enter.” – aYia
