C O L L E C T R E S S SHARE THE PLAYFUL SOUNDS OF ‘PUMPHOUSE’ FROM THEIR DEBUT, LIVE SHOWS INCOMING
LISTEN TO ‘PUMPHOUSE’

Conjuring Blake-like reflections of the industrial and pastoral, C O L L E C T R E S S’ ‘Pumphouse’ is the latest track to be released from their alluring debut Mondegreen which they shall self release on 24th March.

  About the recording of this particular piece of music, C O L L E C T R E S S remark, “Pumphouse was written for a gig in the Pumphouse Gallery in Battersea park. It was a beautiful summer’s evening and we played outside at dusk.” – another fine example of how context informs the compositions on their debut, and a great illustration of how Mondegreen is alive with sounds (bicycle wheels turning, clicks and pumps) all nestled in between inviting string arrangements. Mondegreen is bursting at the seams with densely packed sounds, and you can’t help but be thoroughly engrossed
 The live dates for March are almost upon us, this week comes their notable appearance at this year’s Women Of The World Festival at London’s Southbank Centre. To celebrate the launch of Mondegreen, C O L L E C T R E S S have curated shows in Brighton and London featuring a mix of analogue light and sound installations as well as solo appearances from some of the other fine musicians who helped them realise the album.
