Domestic by Paul Armfield

Domestic is the recently recorded album by Paul Armfield. A collection of songs that pivot around the theme of 'home', whether this be the four walls that surround you, the country where you were born, or more pointedly, the continent of which you are a resident. Place, belonging, allegiances, and mental states are all explored with a deft and playful use of language. The musical accompaniment reflects the mature and ponderous nature of the subject matter and is performed with a beautiful lightness of touch by a trans european cast of musicians: Italian Giulio Cantore on guitars and cavaquinho, Johann Polzer plays the drums, and his fellow German Max Braun plays bass as well as producing the album. The album was recorded in Stuttgart and an early 2020 release is hoped for. Here's a short film about the project https://youtu.be/BV-B3nWh33s
