Window Seat by Steve Robinson

On the heels of Shadow Play, his 2022 duo effort with longtime collaborator, Ed Woltil, transplanted English closet-folkie, ex-Headlight and Roger McGuinn sideman, Steve Robinson is pleased to present Window Seat - a sparkling 11-song set, and his first solo release since the acclaimed 2021 gem, Swallowing The Sun.

"Robinson’s regal melodies offer the essence of a timeless treasure, with each track as absolutely effusive as the next. This sun shines brightly indeed" - Lee Zimmerman, Goldmine Magazine

“With The Headlights connection, it will probably be labelled Folk Pop, but Swallowing The Sun is more Pastoral Pop. It is a beautifully arranged album, gentle, magnificently moody, whilst still being melodic." - Don Valentine, I Don't Hear a Single

"Swallowing The Sun just gives me a good good feeling, like a snatch of warm sunshine somehow embedded in song." - Dennis Pilon, Pop Rock Record

Like its predecessor, Window Seat is another collaborative effort with award-winning songwriter, producer and musical guru, Ed Woltil, who also serves up his usual tasty guitar and keyboard embellishments to help tart up the musical proceedings. In addition, Steve’s daughter, Emma Robinson, serves up lovely vocal harmonies aplenty, while XTC guitar genius, Dave Gregory, is once again on hand with a couple of predictably exquisite cameos.
