Understory is a collection of ten mesmerizing solo piano pieces, recorded
in London in March 2026. A sequel to his album Shelter, it finds Thomas
Bartlett more settled, turning inward to wander beneath conscious
thought. The felt-damped piano lends a richer, woodier, more organic
sound as the music follows hidden paths through familiar and uncharted
territory alike.
Thomas Bartlett, also known as Doveman, is an American pianist,
producer and singer. Alongside four solo records as Doveman, he has
released four albums with The Gloaming and duo recordings with Nico
Muhly and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh. His production credits include Yoko
Ono, St. Vincent, Norah Jones and Florence + the Machine, while his
collaboration with Sufjan Stevens on “Mystery of Love” earned Academy
Award and Grammy nominations.
