Hey there - just letting you know about our Six Organs show a week on Friday (4th Dec). Hope you can make it!

 
" Six track mini album featuring Arrested, Acid Sky, Lay Down, Wasting, Hei Hei Heimari and Tears. Tolka is based around singer songwriter S Murphy, born and raised on the northside of Dublin, hence the reference to the tolka river. The album features a truly beautiful blend of sixties and seventies folk sounds with just some touches of Dirty Three like ambience. There are hints of the kind of dark sombre folk of the likes of Nick Drake blended with some really lovely string and brass sounds. november 2009 " Road Records

Bridget Hayden CDR (ROWF16) out now

Recorded at The Bowling Green pub in Manchester on 17th November 2008, when Bridget was on tour with Marcia Bassett, this is a maximal 25-minute set of epic guitar brutalising and deep, moaned vocal incantations. Employing a bow and 'metal' effects pedals, the resulting cacophony is orchestral in scope, rendering almost unreliable the memory of one woman and her instrument. Somewhat akin to Bassett's duo with Matthew Bower, Hototogisu, the deeply layered tones created by Hayden offer, upon first exposure, a somewhat icy auditory experience, but as the recording settles in, the richness and sheer breadth of sound wraps around you like a feather quilt and shifts your perception almost 180 degrees. A truly magnificent set from this former Vibracathedral Orchestra member.

Limited to 80 copies with sleeves printed on recycled paper using soya based ink

NEW  EP OUT FOR VITI DI TITANIO

 “..The story had held us, round the fire, sufficiently breathless , but except the obvious remark that it was gruesome, as on Christmas Eve in an old house a strange tale should essentially be, I remember no comment uttered till somebody happened to note it as only case he had met in which such a visitation had fallen on a child. But it’s not the first occurrence of its charming kind that I know to have been concerned with a child. If the child gives the effect another turn of the screw ,what do you say to two children -?’

We say of course, somebody exclaimed, that two children give two turns!..” (H.James, ‘The turn of the screw’)
