David Gray

Twenty-one years since his first studio album, David Gray's tenth and latest, Mutineers, finds the singer-songwriter steering into unfamiliar territory while cultivating a pugnacious but respectful relationship with his own history. ‘If you're going forward with an open heart, good things will happen,’ says Gray. ‘You have to sort of tear up the past and let it go.’ Gray's past includes the phenomenal success of White Ladder (seven million copies sold), one of three UK number one albums.

There is a change in tone on Mutineers and a rising sense throughout the record, from the opening affirmation of Back In The World to its conclusion, of an artist liberated from even his own expectations. Mutineers then, is an experiment that seems to fizz with the joy of its own assembly. The sound of a musician making a clean break and some sharp turns but also reconnecting with the freedoms of an earlier dream, a rebuke and a salute to all that's gone before.

Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult.
