ALBUM REVIEW: Cameron Knowler & Eli Winter – ‘Anticipation’: excellent studies in twin guitar primitivism

  • March 7, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
We don't get to hear quite enough of the modern fingerpicking style this side of the Atlantic, so if you've drifted off from the form somewhat since Jack Rose passed, or wish to explore beyond William Tyler; then hell; start right here. A grand tour of two instruments and two musical minds woven together so tightly and also unravelling like fronds of a fern, seeking all the multiplicity of new directions in folk. An excellent record

Album review: Field Works – ‘Cedars’: Stuart Hyatt fuses cosmic Americana and Arabic sounds; the results are luscious

  • March 1, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Cedars is quite a record - two records really; the first more orange and various other colours of the sun's framing of the beginning and the ending of the day, alive with a heartfelt yearning and cosmic sonic thrill. The second is far more verdant, deep green, homespun, and focuses in very much in on the wonder of the simple; the moments we all return to, perhaps, at least us rural dwellers. If you're at all conceptually familiar with the work of William Blake, his Songs Of Innocence And Experience, you'll see; the twining and correspondences. Climb into Cedars, join the two worlds for yourself; the album is long on thought and also on beauty.

Album review: Neil Cowley – ‘Hall Of Mirrors’: A love letter to a city and an instrument

  • March 1, 2021
  • Chris Sawle
Neil Cowley has been on a journey away from, and returning to, the piano; Hall Of Mirrors is a striking love letter to the instrument, and also to his adopted city of Berlin. But all these conceptual asides fade away beneath the main thrust: it's a truly bloody great record. Buy.
