Sewell & The Gong - Patron Saint Of Elsewhere

Artist, illustrator and bestselling author Matt Sewell is an avid ornithologist. He also plays the guitar in Sewell & The Gong, a music project with producer Chris Tate.

Their new album is a sonic journey into a whirling world of wild woods, dancing in the mud, late night pastoral adventures and some sort of 21st century hedonism connected to ancient rituals that mark the passing of seasons. It’s a glorious noise to get lost in.

Sewell & The Gong - 'Patron Saint Of Elsewhere' is released via Disappear on the 1st of August and is available as a limited vinyl LP plus one of 20 Patron Saint Of Elsewhere A3 Riso prints on NST 315GSM art paper. Also a digital album via Bandcamp.
