A hushed, enchanting blend of genuine British folk revivalism with stimulating, literary songwriting and experimental instrumentalism, crafted and subtle. Nodding to Ewan MacColl and Peter Bellamy, also Robert Wyatt, the duo play concertina, ukelele, Rhodes, harmonica, percussion, guitar — with Will Oldham's engineer on bass, and Eirikur Orri Olafsson from Mum dropping by on trumpet. Based around a series of imaginative portraits of artists including Muybridge, Prokofiev, and MacColl, this is great stuff, fully engaging, warmly recommended, in a limited, numbered edition to kick off its own label. ‘With a refined mix of English folk, jazz and avant‐garde music, and their measured, intense play, this is one of most impressive folk records to be heard in recent times. From the opening track's jazzy and free biography of Bas Jan Ader to the exquisite duet between re‐tuned harmonica and ukulele on the closing number Alexis Lapointe, we're on the edge of our seats listening. An utmost intelligent addition to a century old narrative (folk) tradition. Respectful, daring and without borders.’ GONZO ‘Strange music that is folk like, blues like but at the same time also has something that is sufficiently different than what you would traditionally expect from folk or blues. That makes this record again 'odd but great', certainly something quite captivating.’ Vital Weekly
