about

These seven songs are journeys rather than standard arrangements of verses and choruses, as James takes a more subtle approach to writing by applying soft piano loops, field recordings and tender vocals, presenting a more defined, restrained and minimal motif throughout.

Follow The Dark As If It Were Light marks a change in direction for A Dancing Beggar, focusing on a softer, more personal sound, crafted out of homemade samples, ambient drones and delicate piano melodies, and has been compared to the likes of Sigur Ros and Grouper.

Crashing waves, epic synths and reverberated strings – each evoke a feeling of euphoric bliss, a sun ray’s kiss, a late night summer breeze. Musical poetry in the making, unfolding on the stage of life. And through these notes a deep and profound connection is made between a messenger and a receiver. That is the power of music.
