John Parish, the Bristol-based singer songwriter, film composer and PJ Harvey collaborator, has announced a new UK tour.
The musician is embarking on a series of gigs at the UK’s more intimate venues to mark the release of his latest Screenplay album, a collection of soundtrack work.
The release, which is John’s first in eight years on the Thrill Jockey label, includes music for films such as Nowhere Man, Plein Sud, Sister (original title L’enfant d’en Haut) and Patrice Toye’s latest film Little Black Spiders.
John said: ‘[I thought] rather than release each one as a Soundtrack to... it might be an interesting idea to try and compile an album with the highlights from several movies, something that would be a good listen regardless of whether you have seen the film.’
His most recent projects include producing and performing on PJ Harvey’s Mercury Prize winning Let England Shake (2011) and writing the score for Sister.
