Leander Hobbs This album is full of complexity, texture and deep tribal beats. It is a starry night in the middle of the woods whilst the fire licks the sky and smoke dances in wild circles. Lay back and let the past, present and future move through your soul.

msswift This album transports me to the Summer Isle bonfire raging through the night of the first of May 1973. (Alas, I wasn't there but space and time are permeable listening to this).

It's wonderful, multilayered, evershifting, a force of (super) nature.

nmurph24 An excellent and highly distinctive album which sounds like nothing else out there. Transports you to the dark corners of the kingdom.

5angster Initally I described this album as a 'Folky horror concept album' but having listened to it several times that description doesn't do it justice, it is so much more. Rural horror with licks of tribal and urban. Brilliant. Favorite track: Primitivo.

about

a musical tip of the hat to ancient ways and rural customs. Pan, Red Kites, the first primitive human jam session getting interrupted by a mammoth hunt, salutes to cider, dark forests containing dark beasts, and Austin Osman Spare whistling through the streets of old London between automatic drawings can all be found here...

credits

released January 30, 2018
