It's an album that shows off the two most remarkable facets of the songwriter: pop melodies that intertwine melancholic and evocative shades plus ambiance of experimentation in which the music becomes a bucolic, intoxicating landscape. Fans of Trembling Blue Stars will be delighted at the new songs, but there are also echoes of Mark Hollis, Labrdford, Brian Eno, and even the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. An album for a silent and solitary night.

A collection of eleven songs in collaboration with Ian Catt; a partnership dating back to the earliest days of the The Field Mice. Both Anne Mari Davies and Michael Hiscock from The Field Mice feature throughout this latest addition to Bobby's discography. Also present is Beth Arzy (Trembling Blue Stars, Jetstream Pony, The Luxembourg Signal), and Harvey Brown who adds guitar to the record's penultimate track. While some songs entered the studio fully formed, more than half of \u003ci\u003eOverwintering\u003c\/i\u003e began life as purely musical landscapes before beginning a journey, eventually resulting in songs like the opener, \"Lincoln Green\"; a subtle introduction to this world of people and places, text and texture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hypnotic psychedelia of \"Delphinium\" follows, featuring the first of four lead vocals by Anne Mari Davies. \"Leaf Fall Is Over\" is a pop song that holds an inner darkness exploring the rarely addressed theme of old age. \"All I want is to escape, but I cannot run \/ Away, away, from this shadow I've become \/ Where looking back is all I do \/ How did I get here soon?\". The song features Beth's first appearance providing subtle, layered backing vocals. On \"Perfumed Meadows Of May Snow\" Opal meets Galaxie 500, in a soft psychedelic haze. Percussive clicks, vinyl pops and reverb guitar notes form the backdrop of \"The Cinematographer As Painter\" - a slowly building hymn to filmmaking. A painting by renowned writer and musician David Toop adorns the sleeve.
