Hodge has announced his debut LP, Shadows In Blue, out April 17 via Houndstooth.

Shadows In Blue follows releases on labels such as Livity Sound, Berceuse Heroique, and Peach Discs, and is inspired by the Bristol producer’s newfound love of plants and gardening, reading science fiction, old prog-rock album covers, and going to raves. Hodge, real name Jake Martin, arrives on Houndstooth having contributed to the British label’s 2018 compilation, In Death’s Dream Kingdom.

We’re told that the album is “as rich and textured as anything that has gone before it,” produced over a two-year period of personal change.
