About Sandy Kilpatrick
The musical journey of Sandy Kilpatrick started in 2000 with a single launch in Cine-City in Manchester, when we shared the stage with the beautiful Guy Garvey and Elbow. Released by Ugly Man Records, the label I shared with Elbow and I am Kloot at that time, the single,Sleepwalking, was nominated as one of the best singles of the year by both Manchester Music and Flux magazine.
Lyrically it addressed urban life in Manchester, and I think it spoke to a lot of people about the insecurities and disappointments of weekend recreational drug use, and the dislocation, somehow related, that we often feel working in a big metropolis. Not that the excavation of misery was anything new to Manchester, but there was something in the acoustic simplicity and harmony of the song that connected.

About Redemption Road
The starting point for Redemption Road was somewhat different. It was at a Gospel Mass in the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem in January 2007. I found the experience so compelling and utterly intoxicating, that I can vividly remember walking back through Central Park with the clear vision that my next album would tap into those amazing celebratory powers of Gospel. So in some sense Redemption Road is a return to the acoustic simplicity of Sleepwalking, but lyrically it moves into different territory, exploring the wonders of the universe more than the heartbreaks. It is reverentially bucolic, and joyfully so. The music here is also being driven by a more joyful sound - brass instruments and cinematic strings, harp and low-lit harmonies. It will be released by Ugly Man Records very, very soon. Meanwhile, please enjoy the first single, I Like How it Feels.
One of my soul companions along the way has been the 13th century Persian mystic Rumi, so Id like to use some of his magic to end this little introduction:
