I first stumbled upon
A Dancing Beggar on an indescribably cold morning back in January, surprised with how such heartbreaking beauty could've been overlooked for so long — but moreover utterly impressed by the subtle melancholy that crawls out of the fingertips of his hidden identity. Having his base somewhere on the south coast of England, the two first
Bandcamp-released albums,
How The Grow Up and my personal favourite
What We Left Behind saw the light back in 2009, records I could easily point out as a must-listen to every other soul with a strong weakness for the emotional or atmospheric ambient such as myself. Perhaps not the most fitting tune with summer being just around the corner (already having arrived here in Berlin), but I always was that kind of person who'd pick shade for sunlight anyway.
Soak up in sadness and listen to this incredible new track from his upcoming EP
Ghosts out on May 14th, which will also feature remixes of selected songs from
Follow The Dark As If It Were Light (2011), including
Sun Glitters, threethings,
Kontakte and
Franz Kirmann.
