Listen to ‘Wash’, the new single from Keeley Forsyth, recorded in collaboration with Grammy Award-winning percussionist Evelyn Glennie. It is taken from the new album Limbs, which will be released February 25th.

Built around the stark tones of Glennie’s bowed serpent cymbal, the track gradually opens out on a bed of strings and synthesisers.

“Evelyn’s work with the serpent cymbal, produced a unique, mournful, metallic sigh that colours the whole track,” Forsyth explains. “With the vocal, I wanted to open my throat and swallow that emotion. The lyrics came with this process, instinctive and impulsive.”

‘Wash’ is accompanied by the third in a series of cinematic videos produced in collaboration with Ross Downes and Neil Cain for the Limbs album.

“The video takes place in an absurdist purgatory, which exists with its own logic and where a confrontational high stakes game is playing out,” Forsyth continues. “This is directly in homage to the work of Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, where the protagonist is caught in a situation not fully understood or explainable.”

Pre-order Limbs on digital, CD, black vinyl LP and limited edition indies only white vinyl LP. There is also a blood red vinyl Dinked Edition with alternate sleeve and photobook available to pre-order from select UK independent record shops.

Forsyth has a short run of UK dates this spring, which culminates with her biggest show yet at The Barbican’s Milton Court venue on March 11th, and has just been announced for a number of festivals including Green Man in August. See our live page for details.
