Orlando Weeks details new solo album with soothing single "Blood Sugar"

"Blood Sugar" is a second taster of Weeks' new solo record, after February's debut track "Safe In Sound".

On Twitter, Weeks writes of the new track, ""Blood Sugar" is a night-time song. A song about a recollection of weary helplessness and the fear that can come with that. Set in the small hours when omens and superstition loom larger than perhaps they should. The music is walking pace, or to be more precise, pacing pace."

A Quickening will be Weeks' first new material since releasing The Gritterman score in 2017.

He writes on Twitter of the LP, "I started to make music specifically for this record in early 2018. My partner and I were expecting a baby in the summer of that year and the focus of my work became trying to document that time. That period felt so all-encompassing and yet, at the same time, fleeting and hard to grasp. I found that writing was a way to anchor movements and cement thoughts and feelings that we were sharing."
