The Winter of 88 is a collection of multi-layered, lyrically complex piano songs by an artist who has been likened to ‘minimalist classical composers working on adventurous ballads for REM’ and compared by critics to John Cale, Mark Eitzel, Prefab Sprout, Virginia Astley and (most frequently) The Blue Nile.

Seafieldroad is Andrew Eaton-Lewis, singer with acclaimed band Swimmer One and a core creative on the award-winning, sell-out multi-disciplinary project Whatever Gets You Through The Night.

The physical release of The Winter of 88 is a limited edition of just 88 pre-ordered copies. The names of all the people who pre-ordered a CD feature in the climax of the album’s epic, seven minute title track.

A genuinely poetic statement that looks out to physical seascapes and political landscapes and inwards to conflicting emotions.’ – Sunday Herald
