Nev Cottee

After breaking hearts, lifting spirits and changing lives with his debut LP, 'Stations' back in 2013, Mancunian troubadour Nev Cottee returns for 2015 with his revelatory follow up 'Strange News From The Sun'. This time round the itinerant musician finds himself settled at Miles Copeland's aptly named Wondefulsound, telling tales of love, loss and longing over a heady mix of psychedelic country, shimmering melody and fireside lullaby.

'Strange News From The Sun' casts Nev in the lead role of a lost Sergio Leone film, a lone cowboy from the Salford Delta emerging from the dust to guide us home safely. As the arrangements swell and swirl with cinematic flourish, Nev's vocal rings clear in your heart, delivering lyrics informed by a lifetime of experience in a barritone born out of late nights and golden rye. Tender ballads bleed into prophetic visions and swelling sonnets sit next to blissed out instrumentals as Cottee channels Lee Hazlewood, Harry Nilsson and Ennio Morricone into his own unique sound.

After a spellbinding journey of enlightenment you return home with the knowledge that nothing will look quite the same again. Transportive music of the highest order.

Mancunian Nev Cottee releases his new album 'Strange News From The Sun' in April. Produced by Mason Neely (Colorama) the album takes it’s inspiration from the psychedelic pop of Lee Hazlewood and the lush symphonies of Spiritualized all mixed together with Nev’s own unique voice to create something quite special.

In 2013 Nev released his debut album ‘Stations’ to critical acclaim:

Beautiful - it deserves to get played like billyo on the radio and work its way up the hit parade…’ James Endeacott

‘A lesson in songwriting’ Noel Gallagher
