Contemporary pianist and composer James Heather announces his second album 'Invisible Forces' out on the 22nd April via Ahead of Our Time, Ninja Tune founders Coldcut's first record label. Influenced by the sensibility of electronic, ambient, orchestral and post-rock music but channelled through solo piano and his classical and jazz grounding.

Heather's new album is about becoming aware of invisible forces around us to help deepen understanding of self and our connection to the world, from tuning into the natural world and getting lost in it's patterns and energies to gaining more knowledge around ancestral lines such as the concept of epigenetics. It's about looking that bit deeper into things, into areas that are not instantly visible but are all around us to achieve this.

Since the release of his 2017 debut 'Modulations: EP1' and the subsequent full length, critically acclaimed album 'Stories From Far Away on Piano', Heather has amassed over 120 million streams on the major streaming platforms, reached number 14 in the Billboard Classical Crossover charts, and gained major critical and fan support; notable supporters of Heather's music include James Lavelle (UNKLE), Nils Frahm, Cillian Murphy, Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder (via his live session he did for them in 2021) and The Cinematic Orchestra. He has collaborated with Dawn Richard, Coldcut, Mumdance and Roger Robinson (King Midas Sound).
