Richard Sinclair - The Museum of Recorded Things (2025) Hi-Res

"The Museum of Recorded Things" (2025) is a solo album by British bassist, vocalist, and composer Richard Sinclair, a key figure in the Canterbury Scene, known for his work with Caravan, Hatfield and the North, Camel, and Hatfield & The North / National Health.

The album is a collection of subtle, atmospheric compositions featuring Sinclair's signature soft vocals and melancholic jazz harmonies. The album's title, "The Museum of Recorded Things," reflects the concept of looking back at archival recordings, unrealized conceptual sketches, and intimate ambient material. In contrast to the early dynamic jazz-rock of the Canterbury school, the release leans toward a more measured, acoustic, and meditative sound with elements of contemplative progressive folk and ambient.
