Released on Britanicana Music, this is a meticulously hand crafted collection of songs with a human touch, meant to be held, savoured and contemplated long after the day is done - an album not to surf on top of, but to dive into.

Sub-titled, ‘Songs of Love, Hope and Hopelessness’, it presents The Unsinkable Boxer as the symbol of hope who guides us through this sad yet beautiful world.

Co-produced by Geoff Martyn, (ex Travis), with a crack musical collective, Taylor has written and created a rich tapestry of beautifully intelligent pop music which is essentially British sounding with flourishes of Americana. At times epic, at times sparse, it takes you to a place where the west coast of Scotland meets the west coast of America and delivers the sweetest punch to the heart

The Unsinkable Boxer is now available on CD from our store or as a digital download from Amazon, and iTunes.
