The Cinematic Orchestra are back with their definitive new album ‘To Believe’, exploring the timeless question of vital importance in 2019 - what to believe? ‘To Believe’ showcases the band’s unique sonic language, encompassing not only jazz but the combination of transcendental orchestration and elegant electronics that they are renowned for. Founding member Jason Swinscoe and longtime partner Dominic Smith have enlisted collaborations from Moses Sumney, Roots Manuva, Heidi Vogel, Grey Reverend (vocalist on Bonobo’s ‘First Fires’), Dorian Concept and Tawiah (Mark Ronson, Kindness). Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (Flying Lotus, Anderson Paak, Thundercat) features on strings and photographer and visual artist Brian ‘B+’ Cross collaborated with Swinscoe and Smith on the album’s concept. The record was mixed by multiple Grammy winner Tom Elmhirst (David Bowie, Frank Ocean, Adele) in Jimi Hendrix’s legendary Electric Lady Studios. For fans of Floating Points, Nils Frahm, Kamasi Washington, Moses Sumney.
