Alchemy EP
On 17th March Will Lawton and the Alchemists release the Alchemy EP. The EP title Alchemy is a reference to the alchemical process of creativity with this EP being a fusing of Will's masterful song-craft and the band's dextrous flair for instrumental flourishes and lush, subtly evolving arrangements.
This meeting of worlds is reflective of their shared love of bands such as GoGo Penguin and Portico Quartet alongside Will's admiration for singers such as Eddie Vedder, Ray Lamontagne and Ben Howard. Will's profession as a music therapist means he has a high degree of self-awareness when it comes to the cathartic, healing power of creativity.
Will Lawton & The Alchemists have steadily built a solid live following with shows across the South West of England, and garnered support from Scala Radio, BBC Radio Wiltshire, BBC Radio Bristol, BBC Radio Gloucestershire, BBC Radio Somerset and BBC Introducing for the West. They recently supported Brit-pop legends Space to great acclaim. With the release of the Alchemy EP it seems only a matter of time before the best kept secret of the West Country becomes a hot new name on the national scene.
The Alchemy EP was produced by Patrick Phillips at Play Pen Studios, Bristol and mastered by Pete Maher at Top Floor Productions.
