Bring Our Light to Every Corner

South London multi instrumentalist/DJ/label boss Adam Scrimshire’s tenth solo album is a six track collection of hybrid spiritual jazz/autumnal folk, a beguiling combination of the cosmic and the pastoral, laced with traces of the cinematic psychedelic soul jazz productions of Charles Stepney mixed with Scrimshire’s distinctive, introspective rural English aesthetic. 

Five of the songs feature additional artists, expanding, if you will, the expansiveness of the album’s sound, creating, rich, epic tracks like Asleep, A Dream which peaks as dusty drum samples, plush orchestration, piano, flutes and vocals collide with a retro synth lead and swooping FX before reassembling itself like dubbed out astral celestial jazz. The only song with no collaborators is the title track, which pretends it’s just a little musical jaunt with plaintive acoustic guitar motif, simple piano chords and a massed wordless ensemble vocal, when actually it’s a most wonderfully uplifting and hopeful four minutes of music. Overall, Bring Our Light… is strong, soft, and beautiful.
