Brighton based composer Poppy Ackroyd returns this November with her fourth full length album 'Pause', released by One Little Independent. Written during the pandemic and shortly after the birth of her first child, the title refers to the feeling of normal life being temporarily put on hold.
Ackroydâs debut album âEscapementâ was released in 2012 and a DVD - âEscapement Visualisedâ - featuring bespoke visuals by Tom Newell for each track on the album, was released in September 2014. âFeathersâ, her second album, followed in 2014, and builds on the concept behind her debut, with most of the sounds again coming from the violin and the piano, however this time the tracks also feature other keyboard and string instruments. In 2017 she released her acoustic mini album âSketchesâ followed by âResolveâ in 2018 and âResolve Reimaginedâ in 2019, featuring remixes from Max Cooper and Hauschka.
