Acclaim for “And You Know I Care” LP by Fiona Brice:
“A lovely, glistening soundworld… The deft cinematic instrumentals of her debut are surpassed by this more committed, charismatic work, which sews soul to serenity.” Record Collector – 4 stars ****
“A meditative refuge… Brice’s vocal contributions lift this above much New Classical fare, with ‘We Rise We Fall’ tenaciously uplifting, ‘Nocturnal’ borne aloft on choral voices, and ‘Today Will Be Different’ a balm for challenging times.” Uncut – 8/10
“Seasoned arranger-composer reaches for the heavens… Whose God Are You? suggests an immersion in the work of Arvo Pärt… A Bach étude-like piano figure sets the scene for a spectral voice and undulating strings… These subtle creations beg to be performed in a sympathetic setting so they can fully take flight.” MOJO
“A confident, expressive work… There is minimal use of voice on Fiona Brice’s spellbinding second solo album, And You Know I Care, but it’s every placement counts. A musician who has worked with everyone from Vashti Bunyan to Elbow, she conjures up here a calm yet captivating response to contemporary chaos.” PROG

“… steadily churning out incredible pop songs”Austin Town Hall
“… shimmering … an enticing sound, emitting a soaring brand of jangly power-pop that resonates.” Obscure Sound
” … a beautifully set postcard from the golden age of pop.” Popmuzik
“Whether he is offering 60s inflected guitar pop or 70s west coast sunny climes, … Paul Cook has the uncanny knack of finding consistently beautiful melodies.” Janglepophub

Fiona Brice today announces the release of her new album And You Know I Care, out 21st October via Bella Union and available to preorder here. To celebrate the announcement Brice has shared a beautiful and mesmerising video for the title track created by Rankin.
“I wanted to make a record that was meditative, compassionate, calm and reflective, as a reaction to the increasingly noisy, opinionated, aggressive and polemic tone of our daily environment,” says Fiona Brice.
The British multi-instrumentalist, orchestral arranger and composer has drawn on her abundant talents to forge an exceptional record that fulfils the brief. Brice’s second solo album for Bella Union, And You Know I Care, is a deep listening experience that raises the post-classical bar, eschewing the genre’s default melancholia for wider and richer dimensions of uplifting and exultant bliss.
