Some generous and enthusiastic reviews of the new album have been rolling in over the last couple of weeks. Here are a few lines from our friends and supporters.

‘A record appropriate to these difficult and crisis-ridden times.’ Ben Graham (Quietus journalist)

‘Folk music that looks to the future as much as it looks to the past’ Graham Duff

‘While this is music inspired by the margins, it doesn’t itself belong in the margins. An album of sustaining depth.’ 9/10 MusicOMH

‘The music and stories that lie within are enthralling and captivating and a must listen.’ 9/10 Maximum Volume Music

‘One of the finest and most subtly distinctive songwriters operating today.’ News from Neptune

‘It is the pop lightness of his writing and the refined romanticism of the sound solutions that decisively impregnate the songs of “Burning! Burning! and fully confirm the brilliance of inspiration of an artist of exquisite class.’ Music Won’t Save You

Digital downloads of the album can now be found on Bandcamp and limited edition signed CDs direct from the website. The album can also be found on iTunes and Spotify.

The next release (three are planned over 12 months) will be the Cult of Water, a mix of spoken word and music, and part-collaboration with the author Alan Moore. Expected release end of October.

Stoking the summer fires. Somewhere in the mountains of Sussex.
