His influences stretch from Ennio Morricone to The Beatles, moving through retro funk, soul, reggae, psychedelic rock, African music and folk. Rather than an anything-goes collision of styles, Dorey shapes these sounds into an evocative and carefully ordered whole that remains pleasingly difficult to categorise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten around a busy touring schedule and sessions in his North London studio, \u003cem\u003eChapman’s Pool\u003c\/em\u003e takes its name from a bay on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, within walking distance of where Dorey grew up. The album feels like a reconnection with the sounds that first shaped his musical identity, drawing on spaghetti westerns, trip-hop, ’60s and ’70s Ethiopian jazz and ’80s South African bubblegum, all brought together with the assurance of Dorey’s years of recording, songwriting and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of: Khruangbin, Michael Kiwanuka, Tame Impala.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lewis Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":62066255003916,"sku":"LEWIS1293LP","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/skinshape-chapmans-pool-cover.jpg?v=1788433330","url":"https:\/\/12-bar.com\/products\/skinshape-chapmans-pool","provider":"12 Bar Music and Social","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
