This artist hails from North East Scotland and this is the opening track from current album ‘Sand, Silt, Flint’.
Co-written with fellow artist Thee Manual Labour, it is a slightly unsettling modern take on traditional themes. The instrumentation is traditional (fiddles, a bit of guitar and drums) but sounds have been manipulated, as have the vocals, giving the whole thing a slightly eerie feel.
The album itself is part originals and part re-interpretations of traditional songs. BM has a feeling this would be another prime candidate for ‘The Gallows Pole’ series 2 soundtrack…
