Michael Griffiths - Things Of The Dark (2024)

Michael Griffiths’ first full-length album Things of the Dark is a follow-up to his heartwarming EP Une Chapelle à La Campagne, released on piano and coffee records in 2022.
After a two-year break and spending time living in Iceland, the Polish composer returns with a sorrow-filled collection of compositions for piano, synthesizers and drums that reflect on some of the darkest parts of life. The album is his attempt to find comfort but also meaning in music while going through the hardest of times he had experienced. “To me, it's not really an album, but more of a compilation of memories,” Griffiths explains.

This record follows a chronological order of finding acceptance in struggle. This process is reflected in pieces such as Yfir, Soma Vol. 2 and Mokka, which depict being at one's lowest, but also Home, Spring and Morning (Mountain Across the Peninsula), which express the feeling of relief and gratefulness.Things of the Dark releases on the 14th of June, digitally and on limited edition CD, with artwork and design by Celia Bayo.
