Biography
Career
Described as a "musical visionary"[7] by The Telegraph, Sheldrake has been releasing music since 2014.
His debut single, "The Moss", was released on 25 March 2014,[8] followed by a debut EP, Pelicans We, on 6 April 2015,[9] and a debut album, The Much Much How How and I, on 6 April 2018.[10] His second album, Wake Up Calls was released on 18 September 2020.[11] His third album, Eye to the Ear, was released on 12 April 2024.[12]
Sheldrake founded and runs the record label Tardigrade Records, with Moth Records as an imprint.[13] In 2015, he included "Tardigrade Song" on his EP Pelicans We, imagining himself as a tardigrade.[14][15]
Much of Sheldrake's work is concerned with improvisation, nonsense, and the sonorous environment. He has provided music for film and theatre, including the score for a series of Samuel Beckett plays at the Young Vic in London.[16] Sheldrake also performs solo and with several bands including Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit and the Gentle Mystics. His song "Come Along" was featured in an advertisement for Apple's iPhone XR in the US and UK.[17] The song subsequently charted at number 39 on the US Digital Songs chart dated 26 January 2019.[18]
Sheldrake's single "No. 3", released in 2022, features in an advertisement for Apple, of the Mac Studio and Apple Studio Display.[19]
In 2026, Sheldrake composed the score for the comedy film Digger, marking his debut at composing for a feature film.[20]
