I'm happy to share my new single, “I Want The World To See The Sun (Arlo’s Dream)”, out now. Soulful and slow-burning, it features live recordings from three generations of my family: my dad (Steve Lodder), my brother (Louis Lodder), and a cameo from my young son, Arlo, weaving a deeply personal tapestry of sound with piano, mellophone, and violin from Clemetine Brown. A warm, downtempo tune to be enjoyed in sunshine and long grass. ✌️(stream link in bio ✨️) 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
OUT TODAY. I love making emotive music at this time of year, so here's one. Path - a little musical guide to get you through the colder months, available on all streaming and digital stores. ❄️ *Link in Bio*
