Keaton Henson releases new single 'Try' featuring Daniel Herskedal + album announcement

Today, singer-songwriter and composer Keaton Henson releases the mystical single 'Try', featuring Daniel Herskedal, from his upcoming anticipated album Somnambulant Cycles.

Released on 31st May, via Mercury KX, Somnambulant Cycles is a primarily instrumental project, with electronic elements relatively new to Keaton’s output, exploring the feeling of subconscious states. The album is soaked in his signature deeply intimate sound, undulating meditative synth rhythms and electronic textures can be heard alongside emotive raw strings and horns.

The album also features Daniel Herskedal, ethereal singer and composer Hinako Omori, adding electronics and piano, cellist Ren Ford, who featured heavily on Romantic Works, and multi-instrumentalist and composer Dorry Macaulay.

Commenting on ‘Try’, Keaton Henson says:

“Try is a piece about the emotional intensity of transient states. I wanted to work with Daniel because his sound is so vast, and to me feels like the strange warmth of sleeplessness. I wanted to write something that uses Daniel’s sound as a vast open landscape, stretching out in front of you, but then have a hyper-vulnerable viola, like a whispered conversation taking place within that landscape.”
