Ahead of his co-headline UK tour in August with Swansea-based singer-songwriter Heartwork, Ed Poole has released a lyric video for his new digital single entitled (Falling Apart, Together) On Separate Sides via Doing Life Records.
This new track follows April’s hook-laden digital single Underground with You, first released as a secret single just for fans at his shows. In contrast to the former, (Falling Apart, Together) is a more reflective contemplation with downtempo, arpeggio chord progressions and subdued, troubled vocals leading to an exasperated release of synth and drums in the closing moments.
In Ed’s own words, this new track is about, ‘Being looked upon from an outsider’s perspective, in despair as any remaining commonality is willfully neglected until it gradually fades into nothing. Trying, desperately, to grasp at a constant while worlds drift apart from each other and a longing for positive change, whatever that might be.’
These two tracks are the first releases since last year’s Split, a collaboration with fellow Liverpool-based artist Seven Years Behind on Doing Life Records, and will be the basis for further, currently unannounced, releases at the end of this year.
Ed will head out on a co-headline tour with Heartwork this August at the following dates:
22nd August- Leeds, Sofar Sounds
23rd August- Liverpool, Maguire’s Pizza Bar
24th August- Manchester, Gullivers
25th August- Cardiff, Milk & Sugar
