Blue Touch Paper - Drawing Breath (2013)

Two years in the making, with more that 60 demo tracks recorded, Drawing Breath is the highly anticipated follow up to Blue Touch Paper s debut album Stand Well Back an album warmly received by the press and the subject of some stunning reviews. Continuing the Blue Touch Paper soundscape, Drawing Breath once again demonstrates an adventurous, visionary and powerful way forward, something we have come to expect from band-leader Colin Towns. Although the trademark cinematic moments, elements of jazz, rock and classical music are present as they were on Stand Well Back , Drawing Breath demonstrates a developing energy within the band, with powerful compositions that continue to push the band forward both technically and creatively.
