Mark Pritchard

“Beautiful Meloncholic downtempo from masterful Electronic Polygot”- MOJO (4 stars) ​ ​“Under the Sun is deeply atmospheric and richly impressionistic” - Pitchfork

​Originally released in 2016, Mark Pritchard’s solo album, Under The Sun is one story told in chapters and, as with any good story, the spell is only maintained if you don't skip to the end. Pritchard, as usual, defies easy categorisation and that is what gives depth and nuance to this work. He draws on the sounds and influences genetically coded in his musical DNA; ambient, nu-wave, avant-garde electronics and folk; but reimagines them through an otherworldly filter that cements Under The Sun somewhere in the future, rather than the past.

​The album features contributions from peers and friends including Thom Yorke, Linda Perhacs, Bibio, and Beans, and explores themes of beauty, desolation, and longing for home.
