Fergus McCreadie - Stream

Limited edition transparent vinyl

After the acclaimed Forest Floor (shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and awarded Scottish Album of the Year in 2022) and Cairn, Scottish pianist and composer Fergus McCreadie reunites with his trio for Stream: a journey from cloudy skies to sunnier climes, weaving Scottish folklore with contemporary jazz.

Since 2021, McCreadie's career has skyrocketed, marked by the two previous acclaimed releases that propelled him into the limelight. Stream continues this intriguing exploration, this time delving into the essence of water. Accompanied by his long-standing comrades, David Bowden and Stephen Henderson, the album flows with the fluidity of its namesake. It's a musical stream that flows through the rich landscapes of Scottish folklore and the sophisticated avenues of contemporary jazz, blending them seamlessly.

McCreadie shares, "What I like most about this album is that it evolves from dark to light as the album goes on. It's a sort of cloudy skies to sunnier skies journey, quite different from previous albums where the track sequence was more arbitrary."

Their sound, a nuanced tapestry woven with delicate touches and bold strokes, speaks of their confidence and exuberance in forging a distinct path. Stream is an exploration of shared passions and expressions, pushing the boundaries of their musical language and vocabulary to new depths.
