Blank Arcades

Blank Arcades is the third in Andrew Rumsey 's acclaimed triptych of albums-in-a-day recorded in historic Wiltshire churches. With Grammy award-winning sound engineer Katie May (MPG Sound Engineer of the Year, 2025) once again at the faders, Blank Arcades sees the same team ( David Perry on guitars & church organ, Cameron Saint on double bass and Louis Spanton on percussion) reunite in atmospheric Yatesbury Church, close to the Avebury stone circle, to perform sixteen new songs on a single summer's day. A year on from its predecessor, Collodion ("hushed, haunted and shiver-inducing" wrote Alexis Petridis in The Guardian) Blank Arcades draws on themes of impeded progress and the 'entrances to nowhere' implied by the album title, a nod to Andrew's interest in ancient churches. "When you sing in a place like this, the walls join in." ----------------------------------------------- "Such a lovely record. charming, rough-hewn and oaky as the pews which surround the recording. Recommended." - Mark Ellen - Word in Your Ear podcast
