Jarvis Cocker and friend
May 18, 2010 Updated May 19, 2010

Former Pulp singer Jarvis Cocker has teamed up with The UK's National Trust to release an album of birdsong, trickling water and creaking stairs.

Sound engineers spent three months recording background sounds at historic houses and peaceful parks across the UK, and Cocker then mixed and produced the final album.

Cocker said the album, a free download, would provide a "holiday for the ears".

The 33-minute recording includes the sound of a game of billiards at Upton House, Warwickshire, a music box playing in the nursery at Lanhydrock, Cornwall, birdsong at Belton House, Lincolnshire, and lapping waves on Brownsea Island, Dorset.
