   Autumn Grieve: General Info
Member Since10/2/2006
Sounds Like “Occupying gossamer space somewhere between Shannon Wright and Cat Power – with near-folksy phrasing that could pass for the soft-spoken younger sister of Sandy Denny – Autumn Grieve’s impressive new EP ”Another Window”, was recorded with Christian Frederickson of Quarterstick act the Rachel’s. The introspective, placid short-player features cellist David Cho of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra”… "...Her debut EP "Another Window" is a lushly lo-fi, evocative set of originals that fans of Shannon Wright and Jeff Buckley will warm up to.”.…"gentle, intelligent folk music." Bill Ellis, The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, TN. “The opening track “Sea Maiden’s Daughter” begins with a drag of cello and sets the tone for the e.p. as gentle, featherlight guitar threads through the song, complementing Grieve’s wisps of vocals. It’s a pastoral feel which builds into a gentle apex of flowing strings, that draws the track beyond its lulling introduction, but never beyond a point of total release. The second track “Hold the Light” is more heavily structured, acoustic guitars being more forceful, accompanied by a gentle mandolin that evokes a very 60’s era British folk feel, the song benefiting from the alternating use of cello and viola in subsequent verses. The final track “Shine” floats gently and benefits from raw recording techniques and the beautiful cello work of David Cho. It’s a tone that’s intense and rich in texture.” James Rider Icarus, Ireland.

The second part of the trilogy "The Empty Circle" by The Joy of Nature, entitled «Rastos de Sangue e fragmentos da Tradição», has been now released by Ahnstern.

In this second part a lot more instruments were used and more musicians collaborated, like R. Coutinho, B. Ardo (Sangre Cavallum), Rui Almeida (Massa Última), Triarca, Mara Neves and M.J.


Not only a reaction against the modern world, but an alternative to this post-modern world.

"...it’s like Kid Strange and Urban Blitz from the Doctors of Madness at their most morose played Overhang Party, or a mogadon’d Peter Hammill jamming with Van Der Graaf’s Graham Smith. Elsewhere, the singular desolation is most reminiscent of the most down down moments of Nico’s THE MARBLE INDEX or even of Jesse Colin Young’s The Youngbloods at their most mercurial. But the Scrapes are still so original their music ultimately don’t sound like nobody but themselves." Julian Cope

"Also hugely enjoyable, highly original AND psychically useful is the music of Australian duo The Scrapes, whose fiery epic guitar and abandoned Mithraic fiddle pieces evoke images of lost Keltic lands inundated by the oceans, lost Iberian & Armorican sea peoples and lost times from beyond the beyond." Julian Cope
