Premiere: Will Stratton – ‘Some Ride’

Taken from new album 'Rosewood Almanac'...

Bella Union's Simon Raymonde is perpetually searching for new music.

The label's roster has rarely been so strong, with the likes of Holly Macve, Sumie and Marissa Nadler releasing incredible material.

Eager to find a male artist to act as a counterweight, Simon's quest led him to the door of American artist Will Stratton.

New album 'Rosewood Almanac' is the result. Enthralling pastoral fare that packs an emotional punch, each song feels timeless, as though you already knew it from the start.

Taking a fresh approach, Will Stratton's new album presents the magical in a mundane way, and vice versa, to continually leave you wrong-footed.

Out on May 12th, Clash is able to tease the new release by unfurling the wonderful video for 'Some Ride'.

The track itself evolves and revolves with cyclical beauty, and the animated visuals are a neat translation of the essential humanity in Will Stratton's songwriting.

Tune in now.
