Leeds-based musician and producer George Evelyn aka Nightmares on Wax has released a new album called Shout Out! To Freedom… which is out now via Warp Records. It was was, in part, influenced by the change of pace imposed by the pandemic.
“I‘ve been gigging non-stop for 10 years,” he says. “And that experience has been beautiful but it also drained me emotionally.” With more downtime available, NoW moved inward towards rediscovery. “As a creative you’re always questioning everything,” he says. “So having the time and the space has meant that I could do a proper deep dive into this stuff. So it was all about this journey of going back to myself, and realizing being at home with my wife and my daughter that I’ve not really been here properly. It’s like I’ve just woken back up to what I actually have – and it’s already here.”
