"The influence of alcohol and cold weather led me to believe I could cover the entirety of Fleetwood Mac's 'Albatross' by myself with an out-of-tune Telecaster and a loop pedal. I could not. In the art of failing miserably, something new was created" (Michael Tanner, 2009). "Lots of meandering guitars being plucked here and there over some bowed dulcimer, harp and piano. Very tasty indeed.... I'd have to shoe horn the word pastoral in just cos it seems necessary. If you're a fan of the Rusted Rail label's output you'll be quite taken by this album I reckon. It's split into 5 pieces and they all ebb and flow into each other like an ebby flowy thing. Very lovely and atmospheric!!" (Norman Records). Features Aine O'Dwyer on harp, Richard Moult and Nick Palmer on piano alongside various bowed strings and harmonium. Digisleeve.
