Joe Wilson and Tom Kingston don’t draw a line between the music they make as a band and the scores they compose for film and TV. Or if they do, it’s a faint one. As Solomon Grey, the classically-trained long-time friends have a sensual, cinematic sound that is their calling card for both, a beguiling blend of synths and orchestration that can evoke any emotion, capture tiny moments in time and summon scenes both real and imagined.

The duo have released two studio albums on Decca Records and have scored four major TV series including JK Rowling’s ‘The Casual Vacancy’, BBC 6-part dark comedy series ‘Back To Life’ and BBC 1 & Amazon Prime 6-part drama series ‘The Last Post’.  This is now the pattern for Solomon Grey as they simultaneously build their careers as performing artists and Film & TV composers.

‘Human Music’ is a collection of intricately crafted songs, which showcase Solomon Grey’s cinematic-style emotive soundscapes. The album delves into themes of choice, love and loss, and was written by the band at the time singer Joe’s mum was diagnosed with a terminal illness. ‘Human Music’ was influenced by her passing.

Sonically, there are parallels between 'Human Music' and 'The Last Post' score. The same 22-piece, Hungary-based orchestra played on both. A vintage CS-80 synthesiser was central to the two. The dynamic Clouds appears on both, albeit in different versions with diverse purposes. Experiences from each influenced the other - not surprising as they were written at the same time, with Solomon Grey sometimes switching between the projects on a week-to-week or even day-to-day basis.
