  1. RE: infosec.exchange/@dragginganox

    I'm going to post again about this album by @dragginganox which I've played over and over since first hearing it only 48 hours ago. My regret is that I didn't encounter it when it was released in March. The links to listen and buy this record are in the post of Brian's I've quoted below.

    At first blush, and I blush to say it, this isn't typically what I'd normally listen to. But it has grabbed me repeatedly by the grubby lapels with its musical and lyrical insistences, its melancholy folk-and-electronics collisions and coincidences.

    And those lyrics. These lines are from the heart-crushing ‘Focal Fires’, the final song on the album:

    "Fresh growth on the dark boundary of the earth
    Glacial time in the melted core by the dogwood

    I clipped the blossoms in the small hours and cut my hand
    I pressed them and lived on the dim border

    I left something in the house but I don't know what it is
    A cherished gap in the archive

    Witness the deaccession form
    A loose tile marks the window
    The wind is singing through the traces

    And the palinoptic sunlight
    Dims the border”

    That song has a hazy, smoke-wreathed synthesizer melody following the verses that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time, without fail. And this album does not fail.

    Thank you Brian, from this Brian, for making this glistering record that I now hear reflected in the dew of the early morning and the too-hot shadows of evening.

    Wow, this is very cool, and there is some wonderfully weird time signatures on at least one of the other tracks too.

    I instantly had to bag myself this amazing EP.

    Also, I really want to attend a Prog Ceilidh now - that sounds like a lot of fun!

  6. John Francis Flynn announces his new album ‘Look Over The Wall, See The Sky’ (River Lea) and shares ‘Mole In The Ground’, an unconventional new single that evokes the rebellious energy he felt when his home of Dublin was being “torn to shreds by property developers and vulture funds.”

  7. Video premiere; You Are Wolf, the alt-folk project of award-winning British composer and writer Kerry Andrew, has announced the release of their forthcoming album ‘hare // hunter // moth // ghost’. Watch the haunting animated video for their new single ‘winter solstice’, made by Marry Waterson - it tips you straight into a strange shapeshifting realm. #folk #altfolk #experimentalfolk #videopremiere folkradio.co.uk/2023/09/video-

  8. Video Premiere: Sourdurent, the Occitan-language group project from French folk experimentalist Ernest Bergez (Sourdure), share their brilliantly inventive video for La Dumenchada – set in medieval times and aided by psychotropic drugs, the poor reap the riches. It's one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. #folk #altfolk #experimentalfolk #occitan folkradio.co.uk/2023/06/video-

  9. Latest Review: The Shovel Dance Collective’s 'The Water is the Shovel of the Shore' is one of the most forward-thinking and original collections of traditional material you’re likely to hear this year, or any year. #folk #folkmusic #experimentalfolk #albumreviews folkradio.co.uk/2022/12/shovel
