Heaven’s Lathe is excited to announce the release of two new solo recordings by the esteemed musician, composer and author Stephen Thrower. A co-founder of the group Possession, he rose to prominence as a member of Coil, writing and recording with them between 1984 and 1992.
Working alongside fellow Coil member Ossian Brown, under the name Cyclobe, he has released several albums of lush, psychedelic electro-acoustics. Thrower also collaborates with David Knight in UnicaZürn: described by Dangerous Minds as ‘practitioners of a deep, brooding kosmiche’. Meanwhile, his improvisatory work with the Amal Gamal Ensemble charts a different territory again.
Thrower has created solo soundtrack music for film, including Ben Wheatley’s thriller ‘Down Terrace’, Kristen Bjorn’s erotic fantasy ‘Trouser Bar’, and a selection of Peter De Rome’s pioneering short gay films. This exclusive new release marks Thrower’s first solo single.
