Mark McDowell's 6th studio album is a full band production -recording as Mark McDowell and Friends- that builds on the sonic palette of 2017's acclaimed 'Dark Weave'. The nine tracks encompass free flowing instrumentals, west coast sunshine pop, acid folk and electronica. 'Breakthrough' balances themes of uncertainty and euphoria - from life in dystopian living spaces to escape into the haunting beauty of the fields and woods. A celebratory summer festival, the lurking menace of city violence, a hallucinatory road trip and fears of impending cold war combine in a panorama of 21st century hopes and fears. As with 'Dark Weave', the album features the unique instrumentation of the 'Friends' -from bouzouki to Minilogue synthesizer- all of whom contribute to the sound of a band that understands its roots but is always moving forward. Comes on blue vinyl.
Also available: BREAKTHROUGH (CD).
