Ant teams up with Turkish-British singer & lyricist Brigitte Beraha for ‘Ensconced’ - the lush new album. There are guest appearance from Kit Downes, Petros Klampanis, Ernesto Simpson, Matt Calvert, Max Luthert, Duncan Eagles, Jamie Murray and Adam Kovacs.

Together Brigitte and Ant explore the contrast between the sparseness of acoustic guitar & voice duo and richer electronic textures/larger instrumentations. Alongside their original songs are two well known jazz standards, one of which opens the album - A Kiss To Build A Dream On (made famous by Louis Armstrong). The album also closes with a standard - Bernstein’s Some Other Time. Between these are warm, intimate original compositions with a focus on the sound of Brigitte’s voice, and poetic lyrics accompanied by acoustic guitar. The latter half of the album becomes more expansive, including a reimagining of Ant’s composition Harvest with guest appearances from with Greek bassist Petros Klampanis and Cuban drummer Ernesto Simpson. Matt Calvert’s electronic wizardry features on Above Water and Who We Are, the latter of which also features a beautiful piano contribution by Kit Downes.
