About:
Annihilation Signals is the second solo album of Reading based Singer-Songwriter Lee Switzer-Woolf, the follow up to 2022’s Scientific Automatic Palmistry. While the first album was a stripped back acoustic heavy folktronica album, pairing introspective folk songs with simple electronic elements, the second album is a far bigger, more sprawling release both in terms of the fullness of the album’s sound, and the lyrical themes within.
Known for his poetic and multi-layered lyrics, Switzer-Woolf places these front and centre once again on Annihilation Signals, with imagery of falling satellites and comets offering up a sense of existential dread, influenced by 70’s paranoia and it’s parallel’s to the world we’re living in today.
As with his debut album, Annihilation Signals was written, performed and home-recorded by Switzer Woolf, and Mixed and Mastered by long-time collaborator Aden Pearce. The only other voice you’ll hear on the record is his wife, Kimberley Switzer-Woolf, who offers up lush ethereal backing vocals on Side One’s closing track ‘I think I might be whatever this isn’t’. Kimberley can also be found performing with Lee in their folk outfit The Seasons in Shorthand.
Annihilation signals is out on May 5th on Oxford based All Will Be Well Records.
