Having developed his sound listening to artists such as Damien Rice
Cat Stevens and Elliot Smith it is safe to say that August Child has now found a distinctive musical aesthetic of his own. Recorded at Old Street’s Fortress Studios with Night Games mastermind Paul Cousins
the four new tracks on 'Burn For The Tide' exhibit an evolution and maturity to the artist’s creativity
not least with the complex-yet-flowing likes of lead-off single 'Honeycomb Prison' and the presciently-titled 'Ebb & Flow'. We'd describe the August Child sound 'fearsomely fragile'
and we wouldn't be wrong.

Following the release of his 2015 debut track ‘Blind’ and subsequent EP ‘Feral Bliss’
August Child was quickly featured by Right Chord Music
Stereofox and BBC Introducing Beds
Bucks & Herts
playing as live featured artist for the latter. August Child is a seasoned performer on the London gigging scene too
drawing audiences to acoustic showcases and headline performances alike
whilst becoming a regular favourite at Sofar Sounds events. In October 2017 he made his first tour to Italy for shows in Milan
Turin and Asti
including an exclusive perforace at _resetfestival.

“Simple guitar and layered voice arrangement draws you in close and every note and every word becomes a focus.” – Right Chord Music
