Following on from 2015's Flailing Tomb LP, which appeared in numerous 'best of the year' lists, Petrels - the solo project of London-based musician and illustrator, Oliver Barrett - returns with new album, J?rd. From the ethereal choral build of 'A Little Dust' (adapted from words by W. B. Yeats), to the euphoric aural scree of 'The Last Shard Falls', and the driving, long-form song structures, interwoven arrangements and mythological trappings of 'The Long Man', previous listeners of Barrett's work will find much to welcome in a record that builds on the distinctive, ecstatic Petrels sound. Drawing together the numerous strands of Petrels releases so far whilst confidently weaving them together into something new that promises even more to come, J?rd is another singular release from this restlessly inventive and inventively restless artist
