Andy Burrows releases his album, The Colour of My Dreams, on May 26. The album which is the Razorlight drummer’s solo debut, will be released to raise funds and awareness for Naomi House which is a purpose-built children's hospice that provides a homely environment for children and young people with life-limiting conditions that mean that they will not live to become adults.

The Colour of My Dreams was written and recorded at home by Andy, and was conceived during a break in Razorlight activity when the drummer stumbled across a book of poems by an old family friend, Peter Dixon. Andy had always been a fan of Dixon’s writing and as an exercise he set about putting some of the poems to music. The first one went well and using just ‘Garageband’ he began work in a flat on a noisy street. Each of the takes had to be timed to fit in between shouting builders and honking horns and the convergence of Peter’s sweet funny childs-eye view poems and Andy’s lo-fi acoustic guitar popcraft came together.

If Squeeze had ever been innocent, if one of Simon or Garfunkel had been born in Winchester, if Evan Dando had found his inner child or if David Bowie had recorded his early works on Garageband, with the lights out, they might have come up with something as magical.

Discover The Colour Of My Dreams for yourself on May 26. For more info visit www.colourofmydreams.com
