High Focus Records is proud to present ‘Green
& Gold’, the second collaborative release from Mr Key & Greenwood Sharps, the long awaited follow up to their critically acclaimed 2015 album ‘Yesterday’s
Futures’. The record was written and recorded between Greenwood Sharps’ cottage in the verdant English countryside and the off grid Finca in the foothills of the Andalusian Sierra Nevada, Spain where Key is
based.
Released alongside the EP is a
short film featuring the works of long time collaborator Jamie Johnson, the man behind the artwork for both ‘Green
& Gold’ & ‘Yesterday’s
Futures’. The short film is the visual counterpart to the EP and serves as the perfect introduction to the world of ‘Green
& Gold’ as it visually explores all the themes present in the music & provides a snap shot of the
incredible tracks on offer.
‘Yesterday’s
Futures’ took the listener on a meandering journey through a vast landscape of moods, sounds and ideas, leading ultimately to redemption and the possibility of resolution. Thematically, ‘Green & Gold’ picks
up where ‘Yesterday’s
Futures’ left off, but structurally it takes the opposite tack; an extended exploration of a single ubiquitous idea: universal love for all things and all people and the challenge of maintaining these shiny ideals in day to day
life, as our cynical side reasserts itself.
In a troubled and busy world, marred with anxieties and uncertainties, ‘Green
& Gold’ comes as a breath of fresh air and offers some valuable food for thought for those searching for real heart felt substance rather than the sanitised, individualised & commodified norm we have all become accustomed to.
