Kershaw, Mike - Arms Open Wide
SKU
23-BEM 061
“This is Mike Kershaw’s fifth solo album. Mike has worked with the same core team as before - Gareth Cole(guitar) and Leopold Blue-Sky (Garden of Live Flowers - bass), with the addition of Stefan Hepe (Gandalf's Fist) drumming throughout - to create an album much darker and angrier than its predecessors, tackling themes of anxiety, paranoia, fear, and manipulation. BEM design maestro Brian Mitchell lends his design talent to the cover.
James R Turner of BEM says: "I’ve loved Mike’s work for many years now, and his newest album is the perfect mix of sophisticated intelligent progressive music and interesting new directions.’"
“My music is for the most part atmospheric progressive rock but I leave myself free to drift in any musical direction I choose within the structure of an album.
The songs explore a range of emotions but have a melancholy core whilst still remaining powerful and lyrically interesting.”
