Throwing Snow announces debut album, 'Mosaic'

Houndstooth mark a good few years for Throwing Snow with news of his debut.

Following on from his recent 'Pathfinder' EP, Throwing Snow – one of many projects from versatile British musician/producer Ross Tones – has announced his debut LP for Fabric sublabel Houndstooth.

Titled 'Mosaic', the album sees Tones collaborating with a number of musicians and vocalists across 11 shapeshifting tracks. "It's little pieces of the music I love combined to form a coherent whole. Elements of folk and real instruments combined with drum funk, electronica and samples," Tones says in a press release, "I don't feel I'm in any way using one influence in any of the tracks, more bringing disparate elements together as a collage. Each part is distinct but when brought together there is a bigger picture and the listener can find points of reference."

'Mosaic' is a milestone for Throwing Snow, marking a good few years that have seen him release on labels like Local Action and his own imprint, Snowfall. Elsewhere, Tones has kept busy with the two labels that he co-established, Left Blank, and A Future Without, as well as another album that he released last year with vocalist Augustus Ghost under the name Snow Ghosts.

The album announcement has been launched with a new video for The Tempest, a 'Pathfinder' EP track that's made it onto the album, which you can watch above.
