Alula Down - Postcards from Godley Moor, Autumn 2020 (Bandcamp Self Release)

WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

Great to hear Alula Down returning to Godly Moore, the catalyst for this year's most listenable avant garde folk LP, to forage for autumnal found sounds, which they then fused with their gently improvised, pleasingly experimental post-folk on this worthy sequel. I'm looking forward to the frostier February edition already.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

The music we make has become place based, it happens here. Perhaps it could only happen here. It grows from connections, mistakes, intrusions, exploration. These are chance moments, and as John Cage puts it, recordings of such chance moments are “… of no more value than a postcard”.

Postcards then. From Godley Moor. With Love.
