Titled Daffodils \u0026amp; Dirt, the album will be released on 14th June via XL Recordings. Over twelve startling tracks, the pair build a deeply personal musical world that feels simultaneously intimate and delicate yet powerful and tough. The part-autobiographical suite of songs see Russell’s spartan soundscapes providing a rich foundation for Morton’s gorgeous, ethereal vocal, aided by a cast of musical collaborators that include Alabaster DePlume, Laura Groves, Jack Peñate and additional vocalist Ali Campbell (on “Broxtowe Girl”). \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDespite a lifelong love of, and involvement in, music, SAM MORTON is Samantha Morton’s first ever artist project. The collaboration came about after she appeared on Desert Island Discs in October 2020 and Russell happened to be listening. He was struck not only by her song choices (including a shared love of one song in particular: “I Remember” by Molly Drake) but by the way the music weaved through her lived experiences. The pair connected and corresponded, swapping ideas, sketches and stream-of-consciousnesses. Finally, months later, they met in the studio and engaged in a period of spontaneous, intense and open-ended collaboration, one which proved to be a cathartic musical process for both parties. Daffodils \u0026amp; Dirt, completed during 2023, is the captivating result. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe album cover artwork features an archive photograph from acclaimed British-American photographer and visual artist Nick Waplington, who documented life on Nottingham’s Broxtowe Estate at the same time Morton was growing up there in the mid-1980s. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHighwood House\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHungerhill Road\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePurple Yellow\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Little White Cloud That Cried\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKaleidoscope\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCry Without End\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBroxtowe Girl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLet's Walk In The Night\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGreenstone\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDouble Dip Neon\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Shadow\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLoved By God\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XL Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43275399626908,"sku":"XL1335LP","price":21.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/SAMMORTON_LP_Front.jpg?v=1711408082","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/sam-morton-daffodils-dirt-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
