‘If...’ is the debut solo album from Bill Ryder-Jones (formally of The Coral). Written as a tribute to Italian avant-garde author Italo Calvino’s postmodern novel ‘If On A Winter’s Night A Traveller’, ‘If...’ is mapped out as soundtrack inspired by the book.
Grand orchestral movements sit side by side with stark, nakedly emotional vocal pieces that weave a bleak but beautifully moving and always visceral narrative.
‘If...’ will appeal to fans of Max Richter and Hauschka’s work as well as resonate with listeners seeking a similar quietude and often soaring work similar to those of Bon Iver and Smog.
