Scrimshire - Red Weather

Red Weather feels like a humid heat haze, the shimmer of disappearing water vapour in an increasingly overheated environment. The regular red weather warnings of our summers, longer and harder each year. There's a sparse beauty to the track that gently drifts towards an ethereal climax where harp turns into synthesiser and soars above enveloping low-end bass, all anchored to earth by the heartbeat that pulses throughout, solid and ever-present.

Scrimshire and Amanda Whiting have been growing a beautiful collaborative relationship for some years now although the work has remained mostly unreleased until now.

Earlier this year Scrimshire produced Amanda's "Can You See Me Now" EP for First Word Records, but back in July 2022 Amanda contributed to this idea for an unfinished Scrimshire album called Believers Vol. 2. That record ended up being mostly shelved and the Paroxysm album sprung up and out in its place. But now Scrimshire is continuing to share some of his unreleased projects.

And the next few years seem to promise the delivery of many more ideas the two have been sharing since meeting at the Lush Life stage at We Out Here back in 2019.
