With an album called Yorktown Heights there was only one town he really had to play, right?

Next year marks the twentieth anniversary of Feeder’s debut, and with eight albums and over three million sales to boot, their status as one of the UK’s most established bands is assured. Which is just as well for main songwriter and frontman GRANT NICHOLAS, who has just embarked on his first venture as a solo artist.

Collecting thirteen songs in total, Yorktown Heights is a diverse, eclectic and positively bold move clearly orchestrated by a passion for creativity rather than any potential commercial gain. Recorded over the course of fourteen months in various locations spanning London to New York to Banbury, it’s an ambitious assortment showcasing Nicholas’ talents both as a songwriter and arranger of distinctive merit.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Nick Drake and Nick Cave as much as anything sitting in the Feeder back catalogue, Yorktown Heights provides, for the most part, an insightful look into its creator’s melancholic side.

Whether or not Yorktown Heights is merely a stopgap until the next Feeder record, this solo album is a triumph and Nicholas is rightly proud of the results. And lucky for the rest of use – he’s bringing it out on tour.
