Spottiswoode adds to his prolific output with his most intimate record so far. His first solo collection in over a decade, Piano 45 is as raw and stripped down as it gets.
"After working for over a decade with my 7-piece band, it's good to zero in on the basic song. I don’t feel I have to prove that I can rock out or be orchestral. It has been quite a challenge to make a record so naked and unpolished."
"This is my mid-life solo acoustic heart-on-my-sleeve romantic break-up record. At this rate you’ll find me in a lounge suit swigging martinis by 2012."

It is much underrated,” said Spott to himself recently while vainly trying to clear his mind at a meditation retreat.
more»New York, NY – While Spottiswoode, artist and bandleader, was away in London, city of his birth, there came the news that his music had been kindly mentioned in TIME MAGAZINE. Apparently, the actor Timothy Hutton has recently been listening to the Enemies in the privacy of his own iPod. He shared his appreciation of the music with TIME.
