Ivan Moult is set to release his third album, “Songs From Severn Grove”, this Spring on independent Welsh record label Bubblewrap Collective. His previous albums have received radio support from BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio Wales, and have been featured on Folk Radio UK.
Ivan’s second album, “Longest Shadow”, released in 2018, won him festival slots at Cornbury Festival, Folk on The Dock, and Festival of Voice, as well as support slots with This Is The Kit, Becca Mancari, and Willy Mason.
“Absolutely wonderful. Just gorgeous.”
Janice Long, BBC Radio Wales
For this new album, Ivan played, recorded, engineered, and mixed all of the instruments at his home studio in Cardiff. The album charts a journey of growth and change, beginning with the lockdown during the 2020 pandemic and continuing through Ivan’s experiences of fatherhood and the development of his love and relationships.
The album showcases Ivan’s voice front and centre, with layered harmonies and a soundscape of delay-soaked electric guitars, drums, and bass. The music draws from influences such as J.J. Cale, Nina Simone, and Tim Buckley, creating a fusion of 1960s/70s folk and blues with a contemporary sound. Ivan’s unique and original style remains recognisably present throughout the album.
The first track to be released from the album will be Out of Time and will be available across all digital platforms on March 29th.
“Effortless acoustic songwriting…”
