Elderbrook - Heart On A Wire (Vinyl LP Transparent Blue)

Heart On A Wire is the fourth studio album from GRAMMY-nominated British producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Elderbrook, an electronic record that pushes his sound into more alternative, song-driven territory. It arrives on 22 January 2027 through Counter Records, the Ninja Tune imprint, as his first release since signing to the label.

Four years in the making, the album traces back to a moment at an art festival near Miami in late 2022, when Elderbrook overheard a stranger talking about wanting to reconnect with a more childlike version of herself. That idea runs through the record, and the title track uses the image of a heart on a wire to explore moving through the world completely open.

The ten tracks put his voice and songwriting at the front while keeping the atmospheric production his music is known for. UK producers Rules and Tourist each appear twice: Rules on ‘Without You’ and ‘Staring at the Sun’, and Tourist on ‘If I Ever Fall In Love Again’ and ‘Heaven’. Lead single ‘Lost in the View’ was written during his move from the UK to Los Angeles.

The album follows 2024’s Another Touch and lands during a period of renewed attention, with his Bob Moses collaboration ‘Inner Light’ chosen to close the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer.

For listeners drawn to that blend of emotive vocals and warm electronic production, RÜFÜS DU SOL's Bloom (2016) or Solace (2018) is a natural next step.
