James Holden shares new single "Common Land"
James Holden has released "Common Land" as the second preview of his first album in six years, This Is A High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities.
After announcing This Is A High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities last month with the lead outing "Contains Multitudes", Holden has unveiled a second cut from the record titled "Common Land", which is teamed with a video made by Innerstrings.
Holden says of the track, "The title comes from the British Library bird recordings I wrote the track around, but obviously references the idea that all land is everyones and we are all born with the right to roam or rave on it. I think who and what is allowed on the land tells you a lot about how this place is run, and for who. Personally I think anything a rich person claims as 'theirs' is stolen off the rest of us and there's nowhere that's more obvious than the English countryside. Imagine! - the state protects the right of these cretins to fence off thousands of acres for their barbaric hobbies while ancient traditions like communities coming together to get high and dance in the woods are criminalised! Everything is upside down and we need to fix it."
This Is A High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities will follow Holden's 2017 album The Animal Spirits.
"Common Land" is out now. James Holden will release his This Is A High Dimensional Space of All Possibilities album via Border Community on 31 March, and it's available to pre-order now. He'll play London's EartH on 13 April. Visit jamesholden.org for tickets.
