Sholto

An expansive double LP that digs deep into his other-worldly blend of cinematic soul, and psychedelic library music.

Drawing on influences spanning Mozart, Arthur Verocai, Piero Umiliani and David Axelrod, the record sits alongside contemporaries including Robohands, The Ironsides and Surprise Chef. A captivating listen, well worth the investment of time across its 26- track run time, SHOLTO explores the concept of letting go as a painfully natural ritual, characterising the art of being able to do so as riddled with complexities and anguish. Morbid to some, but beautifully freeing to others, the art of letting go of the idea that anything should be forever can be relieving, allowing us to cherish what is in front of us in the moment.

Our Hanna says: "SHOLTO is easily my most-listened-to artist of 2024. His debut album ‘The Changing Tides of Dreams’, released on Root last year, is still on repeat at home. This new record has it all too – it’s cinematic, a little jazzy, there’s strings, horns and some synths – it feels like it’s the soundtrack to your favourite warm Mediterranean film and you’re the main character. Honestly, it’s unlikely I’ll listen to anything else anytime soon."
