Since his Yarmouth LP in 2020, and the spoken word-based Lovers Walk the following year, Boulter has concentrated on his soundtrack work. He has produced various scores and has also released a series of lathe-cuts featuring his soundtrack work among a few other projects. St Ann's, is a tribute to the council estate, on the edge of Nottingham city centre that defined Boulter's formative years. By the late 1960s, St. Ann's, like many other city centre areas, had become run down and was earmarked by the council for slum clearance. 340 acres were bulldozed and 30,000 people including David's family were compulsorily uprooted. In 1970 the Victorian streets were replaced with a Radburn-style estate. The soundtrack inspiration was set from his youth. Subtle use of guitar, double bass, vibraphone, tenor recorder and field recordings conjure up the old streets of cobble and slate, damp brickwork and grey skies, juxtaposing the newer post-1960s world of pebble dash and green grass, fresh air and a brighter future. This is a record full of personal memories, but it also tells the tale of Britain's inner cities and their renewal in the 60s and 70. As Boulter said: "It is a celebration of a community, streets that still hold a special place in my heart. I will always be from St Ann's and St Ann's will always be a part of me."
