about

Bound to Rise is the debut album from Leeds based, Yorkshire born artist Chris Brain. Recorded on analog tape, the album captures 10 live performances. An enthralling meditation on nature, with glimpses of the confessional.

Recorded at The Nave in Leeds, Bound to Rise is a debut album that captures the shoulder-to-shoulder warmth of a live setting. Firmly rooted in place, from the choice of recording location, to its songs populated with soaring figures from the natural world, Chris Brain renders a work embedded in folk tradition and the pastoral, with a contemporary resonance.

Glancing off The Nave’s eaved ceilings, each track arrives in an alternate tuning and uses distinctive finger picking patterns that place Bound to Rise on the shelf right next to Pink Moon and London Conversation.
