Until The Ribbon Breaks (Pete Lawrie Winfield and Elliot Wall) have released their highly anticipated self-titled sophomore album, via Kobalt Music Recordings, available worldwide on vinyl and across all digital platforms worldwide from today. While this record isn't the duo's first album, it is their most vulnerable and honest with each song born out of Pete's inspiring journey from rock bottom to recovery.
Like a Terrence Malick movie or a James Joyce epic stream-of-consciousness, the album spans life's spectrum. It's through Pete's soul-searching he's provided a communal relatable space, a document of the universal evolution we all go through. As someone who's spent his days isolating himself as a false coping mechanism, his re-entry into society, Elliot loyally by his side, with such a resonating, inclusive record, renders it all the more vital.With the majority of the record produced, written and recorded by Pete, the album also marks the first time Pete hasn't shied away from his own voice. Inspired by the likes of The Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem, he realized the significance of pushing his vocal forward.
Since the band's inception in 2013, they've released a critically acclaimed debut album "A Lesson Unlearnt" which peaked at Number 23 in the U.S Billboard charts and features special guests Run The Jewels [Revolution Indifference] and Homeboy Sandman [Perspective]. The 11-track debut was critically praised by the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, FADER, The Wall Street Journal, SPIN Magazine and many more, and prompted the band to be invited on the road as direct support for Lorde, London Grammarand Phantogram in 2014/15. The Welsh duo are also known and loved for their wildly popular audio and video re-imaginations for The Weeknd's "Wicked Games", Sam Smith's "Nirvana," Lorde's "Royals", Tegan and Sara's "Closer" and Phantogram's "Fall In Love."
Until The Ribbon Breaks have gone on to receive overwhelming support from fans and critics all over the world, garnering support from the likes of NPR's Bob Boilen, SIRIUS/XM's Larry Flick, KCRW's Jason Bentley and Morning Becomes Eclectic, Jason Kramer (who premiered the track in December) and even Taylor Swift who unexpectedly included "My Love" in her Favorite Songs Playlist last year.Videos
