Roddy Womble – Lo! Soul LP

Lo! Soul is the fifth solo album from Roddy Woomble, following on from his acclaimed debut, My Secret Is My Silence (2006), The Impossible Song & Other Songs (2011), Listen To Keep (2013) and The Deluder (2017). The record sees Woomble continue his unique and restless trajectory, gently stepping away from his previous acoustic/folk intentions in favour of a more explorative light, prevalent on 2020s Everyday Sun EP, which featured largely spoken word pieces over an ambient, meditative soundtrack.

Produced and mixed by collaborator and Idlewild bandmate Andrew Mitchell (aka Andrew Wasylyk), Lo! Soul was recorded remotely between Roddys home in the Hebrides and Andrews studio in Dundee throughout 2020 while Scotland was locked-down.
