Thomas Bartlett - Shelter

Shelter is a collection of eight disarmingly beautiful piano nocturnes from the composer and producer Thomas Bartlett (Sufjan Stevens, St. Vincent) recorded over two days following lockdown in New York City. The album plays as a love letter to his partner, as well as a love letter to New York City itself - Bartlett's home for the last 21 years. Traditionally inspired by the night, the nocturne offers an entry into what is understood in the heart rather than the head; it is a way of assimilating what can't be put into words.
