about

It’s been twelve years since the release of Ted’s last album, Portal Nou, but that doesn’t mean it’s been a fallow time for the UK artist. In fact, it has marked the musical shift from the shackles of “rock-n-roll” to a diverse be-spoke world of composing for theatre, film, contemporary circus and on-going song-writing partnerships.

Featuring both songs and instrumentals, the material for the album is inspired by projects Ted has been involved with (Extraordinary Bodies / Mimbre/ Dead Mans Shoes live score), alongside key events that have marked this period in time, notably the loss of his Clayhill band mate Gavin Clark.

17 Postcards is seventeen snapshots of these memories, often a touching and dark tribute to life’s passing.

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often. Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
