"Division seems to characterise our daily experience. The secondary products of lying and corruption - frustration, anger, sadness - seeping deeper into the bones of our society, of all our experience"

In the last few weeks of October 2022 Scrimshire wrote a new collection of songs with the descriptive working title "Scream". A direct response to the absurdity of the breakdown in the UK government, the horror of the treatment of refugees arriving on our shores and the callous disregard for the trauma being caused to anyone considered "other" - class, skin colour or otherwise. Self-preserving conservative MPs fought for their jobs, record profits were announced by energy companies, while gouging crippling amounts of money from people's pockets, the sense of living in a dystopian fantasy was frequently overwhelming.

Originally named “Scream 8”, Unity Gain was one of the early outpourings from those sessions. Piano and drums bubble up until it fully boils over with huge stabbing synthesiser and string sounds in an outburst of frenetic energy. One of Scrimshire's most powerful deliveries to date.

Unity Gain follows, 2022s Music for Autumn Lovers and the much loved 2021 album Nothing Feels Like Everything.
