NEIL COWLEY TRIO new album THE FACE OF MOUNT MOLEHILL

NEIL COWLEY TRIO RETURN WITH STUNNING NEW ALBUM 'THE FACE OF MOUNT MOLEHILL'

"the greatest stadium-filling anthems that Coldplay never wrote"  UNCUT

"a lovely record that finds favour with anyone attracted to Brubeck, the Penguin Café Orchestra, or Sumpertramp" Pick Of The Month, THE WORD

"a credible hybrid of proggish-rock, jazzy melancholy and English melodic whimsy...a glorious romp of a record" TIME OUT

With Adele's ‘21' being last year's global chart topper and the biggest selling album of the decade, Neil Cowley was - quite literally - the most listened to pianist on the planet in 2011, and perhaps even 2012 with recent recording sessions with Brits Critics Choice Emeli Sandé and BBC Sound Of 2012 poll winner Michael Kiwanuka also under his belt. On Neil Cowley Trio's eagerly awaited new album The Face Of Mount Molehill, the go-to piano-man and audacious composer delivers his best ever signature rip-roaring riffs punctuated by passages of sheer delicacy.

Recorded for the first time with a string ensemble, this anthology of deeply engaging instrumental music conveys passion and emotion that defy the need for words. The quickly acclaimed The Face Of Mount Molehill, which already tops the iTunes Jazz Chart, looks set to launch the music of Neil Cowley Trio yet further into the listening public's consciousness.

Neil Cowley Trio look, superficially, like a jazz trio, in that they comprise three men making noises on a grand piano (Cowley), a drum kit (Evan Jenkins) and a double bass (new recruit Rex Horan). But these noises rarely sound like jazz. Produced by the Grammy nominated recording engineer Dominic Monks (Laura Marling, Kings Of Leon, Ray Lamontagne) and featuring Brian Eno's soundscape guitarist Leo Abrahams, NCT's fourth album, The Face Of Mount Molehill, features power pop songs without words, soundtracks in search of a film, exploratory minimalist miniatures, and the coolest TV theme tunes you'll ever hear.
