Alabaster dePlume, the Mancunian jazz musician and poet, has announced the new double album Gold. The follow-up to 2020’s To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals Vol. 1 arrives April 1 via International Anthem. Among the contributors is Tom Skinner, drummer of the Smile and Sons of Kemet. Today, dePlume has shared the video for the album track “Don’t Forget You’re Precious,” along with the song “The Sounds of My Feet on This Earth Is a Song To Your Spirit.” Find the tracklist and full list of players on the album below.
Alabaster dePlume’s last solo album of entirely new music was 2018’s The Corner of a Sphere. To Cy & Lee featured some new music but mostly compiled instrumental interludes from dePlume’s previous albums. Following the compilation’s release, dePlume’s “Visit Croatia” was sampled by Bon Iver for “PDLIF.”
