Having waited 17 years for \u003ci\u003eDrift Code\u003c\/i\u003e, some may be surprised at \u003ci\u003eClockdust\u003c\/i\u003e’s swift arrival, but the album’s roots can be found in the same extended sessions. “Early on I realised I had two albums worth of material,” Webb explains. “The first tunes I wrote were electric guitar based, with long arrangements that built up in layers to something sonically quite dense. These became the bulk of \u003ci\u003eDrift Code\u003c\/i\u003e. As a reaction, I wrote a batch of songs that were tighter in their structure but had more feeling of space. These make up the bulk of \u003ci\u003eClockdust\u003c\/i\u003e.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce he’d identified each song’s greater role, Webb took pains to ensure the albums would stand alone. “Through the year of mixing and releasing \u003ci\u003eDrift Code\u003c\/i\u003e,” he continues, “I made a conscious effort not to listen to \u003ci\u003eClockdust\u003c\/i\u003e. It became some long-lost twin everybody had forgotten. There was an older, wiser atmosphere to it, more cinematic, but in a romantic way”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClockdust\u003c\/i\u003e draws upon an armoury of instruments, some, like the euphonium, unfamiliar in such contexts, and plenty – the kokoriko, the okónkolo – with even more unfamiliar names. Each track, too, indicates Webb’s fondness for the path less travelled, its twists and turns at first jarring but soon intuitive. That they’re embellished by a voice which has seemingly endured many lifetimes emphasises their mysterious nature. That its recording was soundtracked by Jacques Brel, Jet Harris and Kurt Weill no doubt contributed too. That many songs are inspired by old movies enhances their ageless atmosphere yet further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead single \u003ci\u003eJackie’s Room\u003c\/i\u003e is about a dysfunctional yet romantic relationship in which the protagonist believes “as long as she’s desired, she’ll never grow old” and the resulting track sways with the grace of its aging seductress. “I think of the album as containing stories from people who’ve reached their present situation through many years of experiences,” Webb says.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdiosyncratic and quietly haunting, \u003ci\u003eClockdust\u003c\/i\u003e is seeped in sepia-tinted nostalgia, “a powerful force of nature,” Webb states, “up there with love and desire”. The album blurs the boundaries between past and present. Webb insists that he prefers to live in the here and now, but in looking back he’s found a magical, mesmerising manner in which to forge a path forward: for him, for his music, and for his audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP.","offer_id":50460569960779,"sku":"1086727","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50460570943819,"sku":"1086728","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50460571631947,"sku":"1086726","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e68c0499-0ca8-4452-b469-6e6884e2fd83_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727502919"},{"product_id":"out-of-season-2","title":"Out Of Season","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn \u003ci\u003eOut of Season \u003c\/i\u003ePortishead singer Beth Gibbons collaborates with former Talk Talk bassist Paul Webb who works here under the pseudonym Rustin Man.

As you might expect from someone of Webb’s pedigree, Drift Code is a deep, detailed work. The passage of time, the living space full of art, treasured objects and junk, the years spent listening to film music and ‘40s standards are all audible.
