The Dark Peak
by Henry Parker
Ravens At Alport (Psalms)
Fine guitarist looks to the natural settings of the Peak District National Park for inspiration on this release. It’s just him on his guitar and the sounds of the moorland landscapes there. This is just lovely and contemplative. I kind of can’t stop playing it.
Cyfarwydd
by Mari Mathias
Can y Melinydd
Dulcet-voiced Welsh folk singer-songwriter sings these mostly delicate pieces in her native tongue, and she tastefully brings in some modern sensibilities. Mari handles vocals, acoustic guitar, and harmonium, with guests on flute, electric guitar, bass, harp, and drums and percussion.
The Other Place
by Aisling Urwin
One Day All Of This Will End
Multi-instrumentalist and singer, Irish Aisling Urwin has a lovely, soaring voice. Her writings are in a contemporary folk vein, sometimes dabbling into jazz territory. There is a veritable kitchen sink of modern and traditional folk instruments featured here, too much to list, but all are tastefully played in support of this fine artist’s work.
The Hungry Child
by Jim Ghedi
Jim Ghedi brings his impassioned delivery to this drone-y dirge. The piece steadily builds from ominous to near chaos as the tragic ending for the child is finally revealed.
Aeons In Stillness
by Vishal Naidu
Gallops In The Mist
Vishal is a member or a prominent metal band in India, but don’t let that fool you. This is deeply contemplative instrumental music in a dark folk vein. Primarily guitar, other instrumentation here are strings, flute, and piano and other keyboards, provided by some other artists in this realm.
Everything In Its Right Place
by KALANDRA
This time, Kalandra is covering this Radiohead song, turning it into their own by virtue of their own signature sound. Their version is both airier, yet more lush, with Kalandra’s layering of both instruments and vocals.
Worlds on Fire
by In The Labyrinth
KABUL
Multi-instrumentalist and composer Peter Lindhal once again delivers his particular menu of richly flavoured world-infused music to the musical table. Peter alone plays too many instruments to list, and he also has guests on many others, plus vocals, as well. This is a heady mix of Middle Eastern and Indian music, stirred up with some western electricity. Not just world music, but other-worldly music.
Blue Morpho
by Ed O’Brien
Incantations
This is the second solo release for Radiohead’s guitarist. Psych folk for the most part, with chamber, jazz, funk, and ambient over- and under-tones. The sound is a bit muted, but not at all unclear, more dreamlike than muffled. Utterly phantasmagoric, and best heard from start to finish, but choosing the opener as my favourite track, as it is a fine introduction.
Nothing Is Promised
by LYRRE
Ephemeral
Full-length release from Lyrre, a metal band, who feature hurdy-gurdy, along with an ethereal, yet forceful female vocalist. The music is driving, as metal should be, but the element of the hurdy-gurdy gives it an enjoyable twist from the usual instrumentation one encounters in metal, and the musical complexity makes it an enjoyable experience.
