    boycalledcrow – //M E L O D Y_M A N – Waxing Crescent Records

    A boycalledcrow returns. Not to green, pastoral pastures of traditional folklore but to nervous, uneasy terrain that never quite settles. Like a story broken apart to reveal fragments or suggestions of composition you enter a strange world, though none the less a wonderfully exhilarating one in which you discover new process. It’s almost hard to…

  • Boycalledcrow – Nightmare Folk Art – Subexotic Records

    If music means anything it means something. I wonder what Pete Seeger or for that matter Phil Orchs would have made of this version of Folk storytelling. While the acoustic strains from the genre are woven throughout moments inhabiting this album they are not strictly tied down by them, setting the sounds and imagination free.…

  • boycalledcrow – Wizard’s Castle – Waxing Crescent Records

    Another remarkable record of our times despite being released digitally and on its polar opposite cassette from the Chester based artist boycalledcrow.

  • boycalledcrow – Mystic Scally – Wormhole World

A mystifying journey through an English sense of Folk which at times infuses the album with an organic, lived-in aspect that wants to reference musicians like Richard Thompson, but in reality is as far away from that traditional blend as is possible.…

  • Wonderful Beasts – The Art Of Whisper – Wormhole World

    This next communication from Wonderful Beasts expands the velocity of meaning as their debut album seeks out fresh pasture. Wonderful Beasts are of course the gathered creative thoughts of boycalledcrow and Xqui. They produce music that combines a diverse range of feelings that sometimes escapes into the beyond, while at others aim straight for the…

What’s more they are coming as ‘a name-your-price dl’. So what’s to like? If mind-expanding textures of evocative sound are what moves you, the answer is…
