Robin Guthrie, former Cocteau Twins guitarist, has released a new four-track EP of instrumental recordings.
Released January 4, the ‘Springtime’ collection is the musician’s first new material of 2022 and coincides with his 60th birthday.
The EP sees Guthrie and his stellar band experimenting with whimsical guitar textures, marking the next chapter in his ever-growing musical narrative.
It follows two similar projects – ‘Mockingbird Love’ and ‘Riviera’ – which were both issued in 2021.
Meanwhile, Guthrie released his sixth full-length album, ‘Pearldriving’, in November of last year, marking his first LP since 2012’s ‘Fortune’.
He says: “After ‘Pearldiving’, I thought about taking a break as my release schedule has been a bit excessive of late, but I took some time in the studio and got very quickly focused on this as my first release for the new year.
“Spring is an important time for me. Often it’s time to prepare for what’s to come. It can represent new growth.
“It can also be a good excuse to use a great photo of some springs that I had taken”.
