New Hidden Orchestra album, 'Archipelago'




Full Thought are delighted to announce the imminent second album from Hidden Orchestra. Entitled ‘Archipelago’, the album will be released on Tru Thoughts on the 1st October on CD, digital and premium vinyl.

Following their 10,000 selling debut, ‘Night Walks’, the new LP sees Joe Acheson, the musical mastermind behind the talented Edinburgh four-piece, exploring and developing many of the themes from their debut while introducing new guest players, instruments and found sounds.

The core quartet of Hidden Orchestra is formed around the duelling drum kits, percussion and electronic pads of drummers Tim Lane and Jamie Graham, completed with the piano and violin of Poppy Ackroyd and Acheson’s bass and original samples. Their star has risen steadily since the release of ‘Night Walks’, with a genuinely organic buzz building as word has spread about their intricately crafted yet viscerally emotive and energetic sound; complemented by the highly in-demand live show which they have toured through more than 20 countries, in addition to tour support slots for acts including Bonobo.

Full Thought are publishing Archipelago, material will be available very soon...
