WHAT WE SAY:

A small church in a Derbyshire village would be the last place you could guess the new LP from Nick Jonah Davis for Thread Recordings was recorded as, with a nomadic restlessness & far Atlantic leaning, he roams the world of string anchored roots music, nudging folk tradition into the 21st Century whilst he's at it. If that wasn't enough I now know what a pigeon whistle is.

The album was self-recorded at the village church in Atlow, and mixed and mastered by Nick at his home nearby. 'Whistle on Woolf' features Nathaniel Mann of Dead Rat Orchestra on pigeon whistles.
