Ed Harcourt releases his new album, El Magnifico via own imprint, Deathless Recordings. The self-produced album was recorded at his own Wolf Cabin studios with finishing touches made with assistance from producer Dave Izumi Lynch at Eastbourne’s Echo Zoo Studio. While recognisably bearing all the hallmarks that have made him such an admired and prolific songwriter and one of Britain’s most cherished yet inventive music creators, Ed’s new record also finds him striving for something new. It is an Ed Harcourt record, but one with a desire to seek fresh reward.  “I think as a songwriter you do get to a point where you're aware of your past and what you’ve done,” suggests Harcourt of El Magnifico’s mixture of assuredness and aspiration. “It’s knowing what your strengths are, what your weaknesses are, but also knowing how to better yourself by doing things you haven't done before.”
