The feeling of isolation, desire, coldness and anger which arise from the depths of one’s psyche at points of personal struggle, realisation or change is what the listener is presented with in Steering By Stars’ sophomore album, The Cold Embrace.

Following from the acclaimed album Cables, Steering by Stars release their second album The Cold Embrace. Support on the evening were the exceptionally talented Sincerely, Grizzly and the beautiful minimalist R&B trio Swimming. Our photographer John Goodridge brings us these images of the event.
