Metcalfe’s album,‘The Appearance of Colour’, (“divinely beautiful” - Clash, "staggeringly beautiful"- Mary Anne Hobbs) beautifully unites the disparate strands of his kaleidoscopic musical world. Within the album are powerful rhythmic strings evoking the world of systems music, moments of transcendent solo piano, shimmering electronics and guitar, elements of drum and bass, and of chamber music.
His shows feature an incredible line up of musicians from the worlds of post-classical, electronica and pop: crisp, jazz-influenced beats from master drummer Richard Spaven (Flying Lotus), deeply felt groove from Red Snapper's bassist Ali Friend and the exquisite voice of Rosie Doonan, fresh back from touring with Birdy.
Metcalfe’s 5th studio album ‘Absence’ is out now on Neue Meister.
