Adam Stafford + Meursault + M. John Henry

Adam Stafford Falkirk based musician/filmmaker/photographer Adam Stafford issues his sixteenth solo album (under his own name) entitled `Prilitex', an abbreviation of "Private Little Exorcisms" or "Extractions/Excursions/Ecstasies". Recorded as a co-production with Neil Pennycook of Meursault and regular collaborator Robbie Lesiuk the LP sees Stafford return to the song/ lyric-based material of his acclaimed solo albums `Build a Harbour Immediately' (2011), `Imaginary Walls Collapse' (2013) and `Diamonds of a Horse Famine' (2020), inviting collaborations from vocalist/violinist Robyn Dawson (also Meursault), Ceylan Hay (Bell Lungs) and drummer Sean Mitchell (Lloyd's House) as well as contributions from both Pennycook on keyboards/bowed banjo and Lesiuk on bass and guitar. The result is an eleven track collection of some of Stafford's strongest and melodically tight compositions to date, many flying under the 4-minute mark and incorporating a myriad of styles and influences. Meursault (Solo) Based in East Lothian, Neil/Meursault has developed over the years from his scratchy, lo-fi beginnings to become one of Scotland's most unique, contemporary voices.
