Conrad Lambert had the world at his feet.
The songwriter's Merz project was snapped up by a major label at the turn of the Millennium, leading to sessions for his debut album.
Yet he walked away from it all. Embarking on a curiously left field, utterly English career, Merz is set to return on November 6th with new album 'Thinking Like A Mountain'.
Perhaps the most individual step on a profoundly individual journey, the material ranges from the 12 minute opening statement to the final dream-like coda, from orchestral sweep to impressionistic pop music.
Clash has the first play of this daring new record – tune in below.
