Solomon Grey
London‑based duo Solomon Grey, comprised of Tom Kingston (aka Tom Bootle) and Joe Wilson, blur the lines between electronic pop and cinematic composition. The pair formed after meeting in Oxford, later relocating to Ireland and even Australia to refine their sound, before returning to the UK in 2013. Their debut single Gen V on Black Butter Records announced their arrival, followed by the standout track Firechild in 2013. Alongside their artist releases, Solomon Grey have built a strong reputation as composers for picture: they scored the BBC/HBO adaptation of The Casual Vacancy (2015) and the series The Last Post (2017), combining orchestral string arrangements with vintage synths and found‑sound recordings. The album Human Music (2018) exemplifies their approach: emotional themes of loss and choice rendered through grand sonic textures and genre‑defying production. For listeners who crave music that transcends traditional boundaries and functions equally as immersive band work and cinematic score, Solomon Grey is a distinctive voice worth discovering.
