about

The first single from Mark’s second solo album is a beautiful psychedelic reverie with echoes of Verve (before they added the The) or the criminally underrated Acetone, with its dusty, deserty feel.

It features vocals from former One Dove singer/songwriter Dot Allison, who says of the track: “I really wanted the chorus to feel immense and to form a melodic ‘sky’. So, I layered my vocals and messed about with reverb to create a spaciness to it, hopefully like rays of sun yet also a hint of a mist. I wanted it to infer intimacy and something physical and at the same time intangible.”

“I could never have predicted how Dot would elevate the song to such a special place,” says Mark. “I’m immensely proud of our collaboration.”

The edit of the track comes with an exclusive digital B-side called ‘Switched On’, which is actually a spaced-out, almost dubby reworking of the original, again featuring Dot on vocals.

What a beautiful album! It's so quiet, yet highly dramatic. Bleached by the Sun just melts me. This work feels wholly original, yet carries vibes of Kate Bush and quieter Goldfrapp moments. Warren Harrison
