Blank Arcades is the third in this acclaimed triptych of albums-in-a-day recorded in historic Wiltshire churches.
With Grammy award-winning sound engineer Katie May (MPG Sound Engineer of the Year, 2025) once again at the faders, Blank Arcades sees the same team (David Perry on guitars & church organ, Cameron Saint on double bass and Louis Spanton on percussion) reunite in atmospheric Yatesbury Church, close to the Avebury stone circle, to perform sixteen new songs on a single summer’s day.
A year on from its predecessor, Collodion (‘hushed, haunted and shiver-inducing’ wrote Alexis Petridis in The Guardian) Blank Arcades draws on themes of impeded progress and the ‘entrances to nowhere’ implied by the album's title. Jangle folk for Pentanglicans: welcome to Blank Arcades, friends!
