Hayden Thorpe came to prominence as the lead singer and chief songwriter for the much-celebrated band Wild Beasts who released five acclaimed albums on Domino Records before disbanding.
Hayden has since released two solo albums and an EP on Domino; 2019’s Diviner – a critically adored work of solitude and fragility, the pastoral Aerial Songs EP – a 2020 commission for the inaugural Aerial arts festival and his sophomore album Moondust For My Diamond released in 2021 – a work that is galvanising, reassuring, elegant, seductiveand oozing in Big Cosmic Energy. Known for his distinctive voice and sultry compositions, Thorpe’s return to Cumbria marks a new era for his craft with an expanding pallet reflective of the natural environment he lives surrounded by.
