"I wanted to make something that would sit next to Lone Swordsman in the world of Love + Light. Petrol Blue was written in a studio at the very edge of the country. The views across the water without a single sight on the horizon always create a certain atmosphere in my mind, some kind of unknowing warmth. Real life seems pretty distant in those moments. The track came about quickly, in the space of a few hours, and filled the room immediately. It’s named after my own little space down by the water that continues to be its own escape and a constant source of creativity. I owe my life to that metal box right now. Also included here is an alternative version of Into The Arms Of Stillness, the Voice recounting the joy of when that first strobe light enters your soul. We’ll be back to that place before we know it.
Petrol Blue will be out on vinyl in January, on the flip of the Lone Swordsman 12”. The response has been overwhelming, thank you for all the support. There are just a handful of copies left, with all proceeds going to Amnesty International in memory of our friend Andrew Weatherall xx" – Daniel Avery
