Me and My FriendsMe and My Friends play soulful, poignant music with a beat: a unique blend of Afrobeat grooves with deliciously rich harmonies, languidly graceful cello and playfully funky clarinet, all tied together by the hauntingly elegant voice of singer and guitarist Nick Rasle.Over the past decade they have gained support from the likes of Giles Peterson, Cerys Matthews, FiP, Soundway and Quantic.Before I Saw The Sea, releases 27 January 20231.

Lover, Come Back To Me12. Before I Saw The SeaThis album is about anticipation and change. The moments in which we feel the certainties that hold us securely in place come adrift.The inception for many of these pieces took place in the first lockdown of 2020, when our diaries were abruptly cleared and the churn of everyday life ground to a halt. Suddenly, there was so much time, in which ideas could percolate uninterrupted, revisited each day without distraction, taking shape gradually in a process that seemed inconceivable before.We had always assumed that we needed to be in the same physical space to create new music together, but pandemic restrictions forced us into experiments in collaborative writing online we’d never have considered otherwise. These exchanges created a thread to hold onto and a collective sense of purpose, as all else seemed to become untethered.With returning melodic themes and vignettes weaving throughout the record, and a lyrical expression of times of transformation, this is an album created to accompany journeys when none could be made, in anticipation of the parting clouds.
