Stephen Caulfield is a singer, musician, songwriter and producer from Reading, in the UK who returned with his new EP, Blue Vessels back in October.
One of the highlights of the release is its closing track “Jökulhlaup.” It offers a haunted cinematic presence, with ethereal dreamlike vocals and a dark nature. Yet there is a hopeful nature to its refrain, with some powerful innate emotive qualities, that often reminds of The Antlers.
Or as they detail it:
Each drop of water entering the lake adds to the weight of the water pressing against the ice. The pressure builds as heat continues to rise from beneath until it can longer be contained by the ice around the lake. The walls cracks and the base of the glacier gives way as the water explodes out in an outburst flood. The water is free of the glacier and continues to follow the path downwards towards the sea.
