Advertise on podcast: Afterlight

After the stop comes the start. After the dark; the light. This is not a drill. In this special podcast interview accomplished novelist and journalist Stephanie Merritt discusses the eponymous debut album from Afterlight (the artist we once knew as Thea Gilmore, with 19 albums to her name), out on 1st October. Written, produced and performed by Afterlight, the album spans the brutal truth of the opening track – an account of all the damage wrought upon one small life – through the slow, painful realisation that her entire world was built on control and lies, on to the emergence of a woman learning for the first time who she really is, making new connections and, finally, finding her own voice. Afterlight, the album, by Afterlight is available via afterlightsings.com on 1st October.
