Earlier this year Best Fit introduced you to British Theatre, the new project from ex-Oceansize members Mike Vennart and Richard A ‘Gambler’ Ingram. Their beautiful, brittle debut EP had many of the melodic hallmarks of the much-missed Manchester band, and yet managed to feel very much like the work of a new outfit – a record that sounds, as we wrote at the time, “as if Vennart and Ingram have ensconced themselves in a windowless room for a long, blurred night of the soul, and just hit record.”

Today we are very pleased to premiere the first track from British Theatre’s new EP, the delightfully titled Dyed In The Wool Ghost. Sprawling yet assured, ‘As The Leaves Are To The Limbs’ is a fascinating next move from a band with the capacity to make a truly special record. Dyed In The Wool Ghost will be available to pre-order on vinyl from the band’s Bandcamp from Wednesday. In the meantime, read Vennart’s introduction to the record and stream ‘As The Leaves…’ below.
