Three years on from his last album, the four times platinum A New Day At Midnight, David Gray presents Life In Slow Motion, recorded between autumn 2003 and spring 2005 and released through Atlantic/iht Records on September 12.

After eight years of touring and recording his three previous albums, 1998s White Ladder (6 million worldwide sales) established David as one of the UK's leading artists both at home and overseas. In Ireland, White Ladder remains the best selling album of all time. His commercial success is backed up by a critical consensus that has seen him win two Ivor Novello awards for song writing, a Q award for best single, a GQ award for Best Solo Artist, two Brit nominations for Best Male, a Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist and been championed by The Sun newspaper as the "country's real pop star."

With compositions dating back to David's work on the soundtrack for Amma Assante's film A Way Of Life (released in 2004 it received 7 BAFTA Cymru nominations as well as a BAFTA nomination for David as Best New British Composer) and others arriving by the day, the process of refining what would become Life In Slow Motion would go on to involve over 50 musicians as well as yielding David's longest (and perhaps most structurally ambitious) song to date, Now And Always'. "Making this album has given me the confidence to have these audacious thoughts about sonically where you can get to using choirs for instance, or creating your own choir, sampling yourself. It was so much fun doing the vocals on "Now And Always". It has the most ludicrously complicated vocal line that I've ever sung. Probably 20 seconds long, it nearly killed me! There's nothing more uplifting than the human voice and I was inspired when that Bjork record came out Medulla. I think it's got some great stuff on it."

Lyrically, David counts the songs on Life In Slow Motion as his best work. "That's especially true of "From Here You Can Almost See The Sea" and "Ain't No Love". "From Here You Can Almost See The Sea" I think is one of the best things I've ever written by a mile, lyrically. I feel like I've reached graduation day with that."

Life In Slow Motion is the deceptively consummate product of two years of near-constant evolution, described by David as "the tip of an iceberg" of new material generated along the way. "It was bloody hard work," he says. "Fear and doubt are huge obstacles. In terms of your own work you have to try to overcome them . It would have been so easy to get freaked out but I'm really delighted that I didn't. I did lose the plot at times in some ways, as you do when you're immersed in something and you're kind of craving it stopping, but you can't let go of it either. And this is a document of what happened."
