Michael returns with 10 captivating newtracks that mark a clear evolution in his sound and solidify his place as one of the standout songwriting talents of his generation.

Including ‘Evelyn, ’ a breakout track that went viral earlier this year, racking up over 100k streams and inspiring widespread covers online. Thin White Road is rich in storytelling, drawing inspiration from literary voices like Laurie Lee, Hunter S. Thompson, and T.S. Eliot.

While honouring Michael’s classic fingerpicking style and impressive vocal range, this album expands sonically with full band arrangements, lush vocal harmonies, saxophone, and strings.

Think Laura Marling meets Leonard Cohen, a hint of Fleet Foxes, often with the raw energy of Crazy Horse. Michael made a strong debut with
Highfield Suite (2021), a bedroom lockdown project produced by renowned guitarist Bill Shanley that earned critical acclaim.
