On their first co-credited EP Hand to Mouth, British duo Keeley Forsyth and Matthew Bourne take their friendship and years of collaboration to a new level. Stripped right down to Bourne’s piano and Forsyth’s sonorous, show-stopping voice, the six-track EP drops this Friday via FatCat Records post-classical imprint 130701.

The two artists first collaborated on Forsyth's debut album Debris, released in January 2020, and again on last year's critically acclaimed The Hollow. The release of “Consider This” follows Hand to Mouth's lead single “Talk to Me”, released in February. Watch the videos for both songs below:
