Collodion is the follow-up to Andrew Rumsey's 2023 solo debutEvensongs, which won widespread praise (from Mark Radcliffe on the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show, among others) as an unexpected gem of pastoral psych-folk.'An enchanting, enthralling album', according toShindig! magazine.

Next came Andrew's involvement with the Ghostwriter collective, whose September 2024 release on the Subexotic label Tremulant was described by Folking.com as'hypnotically beautiful'and championed by author Sir Ian Rankin as a'unique and spiritually enthralling listen ... with a touch of Bright Phoebus'.

Collodion was (like its predecessor) recorded on a single day, in the historic setting of Rushall Church in Wiltshire, by RealWorld Studios'chief engineer Katie May. It features eight songs and a poem, with Andrew being joined by longtime collaborator David Perry on guitar and organ, plus jazz musicianCameron Saint on double bass.

Collodion is a chemical used to develop images in early'tintype'photography: these short songs, likewise, capture fleeting moods and moments before they fade.
